I have one plug in next to the litterbox and thats it. don’t do candles or diffusers as the cats are too damn curious. I also only use BBW Twisted Peppermint and Frech Cut Lilac. They aren’t too strong but get the job done.

Incense
Incense is an aromatic biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burnt. The term is used for either the material or the aroma. Incense is used for aesthetic reasons, religious worship, aromatherapy, meditation, and ceremonial reasons. It may also be used as a simple deodorant or insect repellent. Wikipedia-
@luseruser
While the global ozone layer is what [partially] protects us all from the sun’s UV, and is therefore not only good for us, but necessary for life, ozone near the surface- e.g., in houses and other buildings is neither.
@luseruser@PhysAssist Just don’t occupy the rooms you’re running the ozone generators in. They’re meant to sterilize and deodorize every so often, not run continuously while you’re in the room.
incense might be OK but gets me incensed. unclear on how healthy it is.
good quality candles likes these seem OK.
get a good wood fire going in fireplace or woodstove. a bit of smoke leakage is normal but must manage it check for problems etc. (forget what I said about incense smoke)
then a slow-cooked or slow-baked something
I frickin clean it.
@edguyver14 Too much work.
Candles from Gwyneth.
@yakkoTDI Tried that - it drove the cats crazy.
I don’t.

FIFY.
@PhysAssist yeah, they just give me a migraine
Open the windows. Or cook something yummy smelling.
I’ll use a candle once in a blue moon. I use them more rarely since having kids.
Don’t invite people over… Smells fine to me
Many leather-bound books and rich mahogany.
@medz Cedar is nice too.
@medz @yakkoTDI Years ago I had a friend who was allergic to the smell of cedar. What a burden to bear!

@2many2no @phendrick @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo
Thanks, but Mannheim Steamroller just doesn’t do it for me.
@2many2no @Kyeh @phendrick @xobzoo Speaking as a person raised on Chip Davis and who thoroughly enjoys Mannheim Steamroller: -hisses at-
@2many2no @phendrick @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo
Sorry!
@2many2no @Kyeh @phendrick @xobzoo No apology needed haha
@2many2no @Kyeh @phendrick @PooltoyWolf @xobzoo

Someone grab a roll of Bell & Howell Alien Shield Waterproof Repair Tape!!!
@2many2no @Kyeh @phendrick @xobzoo @yakkoTDI I only use the finest premium Loctite vinyl repair adhesive on my punctures!
(Thanks for the chuckle, this reply made my early morning!)
/showme cats cleaning up the house
@mycya4me I wish! My cat is part of the reason I have to clean my house.
@Kyeh @mycya4me
Our St. Bernard is 80% of the reason that we have to clean [so much and often].
@mycya4me @PhysAssist Oh man, I bet that’s a LOT of dog hair!
@Kyeh @mycya4me
We don’t really have a dog, she’s more like a mobile hair factory.
Open the window
@somf69 (the key word is “nicER”)
Nag Champa FTW
Ozone generator 5-20 mins smells like fresh sheets aired outside.

@PhysAssist @PooltoyWolf exactly. Never ran it more than 20 with entry for 24hrs.
Baking!
Make sure to keep the litter boxes scooped.
@werehatrack Or don’t have cats.
(This is coming from someone who, to put it mildly, doesn’t like cats.) I’m putting on my Nomex suit now…
@ItalianScallion @werehatrack Dogs can smell pretty skanky too, you know.
@Kyeh @werehatrack I was thinking about the open sewer–I mean the litter box.
@ItalianScallion @werehatrack That’s controllable.
I withhold privileges until it complies.
@macromeh after too many years in the industry I read this as “it compiles.”

cook bacon
Take a bath and throw away leftovers.
I light hickory chips from the smoker in a ramekin. Downside: makes me hungry for smoked salmon and excites the dogs
I clean my house.
Make it smell nice? But … ugh … then people might want to come in!
Ionic propulsion FTW!

I have big dogs. My house does not smell nice.
@OnionSoup To humans maybe.
Baking bread or grinding coffee.
