You know those homes that you walk into and they smell good at all times? The scent just takes you to some paradise somewhere. It's amazing to me. No matter how much I clean or how much air freshener I spray my home only smells good for a certain length of time...
What do these people do to have their home always smelling good? Do you have any tips or tricks to make your house smell good all the time?

Our house smells good like that. I attribute it to the use of our sensei burner, and the right scent. We use a light cucumber scent, and it is nice and uplifting, or so we've been told. I also think that pets and their dander leave a bit of a scent of their own-we don't have any pets here, so that might have something to do with it.

@Juliiacv Where would I get a sensei burner? I would love to try it! We do have 2 dogs who probably don't help the "smelling good" factor in here. Lol

@LovingMyBabies They are sold like avon, from individual dealers. I would be careful with kids, we have 2 nightlights with burners in them, they are so nice. Do a search online to see if they are sold in your country. They are so popular up here.

They have the electric burners where you can burn wax melts at walmart they have a lot of nice ones. My girlfriend started using the unstopables fabric softener beads in hers and the smell lasts longer than some of the wax melts out there. We have a dog and you are not going to cover the smell from it.

@LovingMyBabies Me and my boyfriend are going to try them soon. As for getting more go for it I say the more the merrier. We have one in every room except bathroom.

@Tina30219 Yeah I have one but I don't think it's enough. I might have to buy more of them so the scent is stronger. I have heard of using the unstoppables and I want to try that!

@beesweet I think they must use multiple wax melts as others here have said. I am going to try that!

@DWDavis Dang it! I don't want to sell my pets and kids on Ebay just to have a good smelling house! 
I had a feeling that's what the issue was...

@DWDavis I have a wax warmer that I keep up high. I think the trick is having more than one which I didn't know. I'm glad I asked here! =)

@LovingMyBabies My wife uses some of the suggestions I've seen here in the comments, such as scented wax and burning candles. With your kids running about, you may want to look at options that don't use flame or heat, though.

I have an old two story house that is airy and drafty so it never stuffs up. If I need to refresh one room I just open all the windows. I know that a drafty house is not the answer to making a home smell good. This might give you some ideas
Has this happened to you: You walk into your home after being gone at work or out shopping, and whoa…something smells funky! But where is it coming from? You sniff. You search. You’re stumped. Your home can be filled with all sorts of things t

As others have said here those wax melts work well . I have a variety of scents from vanilla, clean cotton, and others that are coffee fragrance & baking cookies. They do help make the house smell good

@Marilynda1225 I love anything coffee or cookie scented so I need to try some of those! I have a wax burner, I just need to get some scents for it. =)

Because you live there you don't notice any smell at all. Invite friends over and ask them what they smell when they come in.
I hope mine doesn't smell bad, but it probably does!

@jstory07 Yeah I am going to have to try more than one. I have always used one at a time and never understood why my home didn't smell pretty. Maybe I need more than one!

As I wrote about in a recent post, we use air fresheners ,but I have to be careful the kinds we use because I can get a headache.

My homes both smell great naturally, because I keep everything clean. Cooking odors can be stinky or good, but I run the exhaust. That being said, I love matching scented candles, wax melters, scented oils, and room sprays. We order them online.

@JudyEv Thank you, that's the playroom. =) I think I'm going to try a couple more wax burners since I only have one right now.

There is not much more I can add since everybody has given you such great advice. I am sure you will come up with some good ideas from the suggestions. The plug in are nice. They have so many different scents and they do have ones for pet odors that work really well.

There are scented sprays you can buy to keep your house smelling good, but I think you would have to spray daily to keep the scent going. I guess the wax melt ideas are good.

I just clean my house and I always dip a small bit of cotton in a perfume and place it in a place it at the center of a Vase or at some place in a toy which is on display. It will be dispelling nice fragrance throughout the day. But, the type of perfume and the fragrance we choose is an important thing.
