here's a tip for every part of your house and it really works cause i tried it my self:
Candle magic. Burn fresh smelling candles or add an incense burner in a room or two and light frequently.
Kitchen Floors. In a bucket mix 1/2 cup white vinegar with 1-gallon hot water. This is safe for hardwood, linoleum, tile, and any washable surface.
Oven Cleaner. Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1-tablespoon salt, and add 1/2 cup hot water. Make a gritty paste, apply to the oven, heat slightly, cool and then wipe away with a damp rag.
Refrigerator Seals. The plastic seals of refrigerators can be wiped free of debris with a rag dabbed in white vinegar.
Laundry Detergent for White Clothes. Use 1/4 cup washing soda (sodium carbonate) in place of bleach. Bleach is one of the most toxic substances for the environment. Washing with baking soda costs only a few pennies per wash load, and it is far less expensive than bleach. Along with the baking soda, add 1/4 cup of white vinegar.
Laundry Detergent for Dark Clothes. Use 1/4 cup of white vinegar and 1/4 cup of salt. Salt helps restore faded colors, and removes dirt and grime.
Bathroom Glass Cleaner. Use 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar mixed with 1- quart of water in a spray bottle. To remove oily fingerprints and hairspray from the mirror, dab on a little rubbing alcohol and wipe with a linen rag.
Bathroom/Bathtub Glass Sliding Doors. Use 1/4 cup white vinegar mixed with 3/4 cup of hot water. Those hard water stains will wipe away like magic.
With just a bit of imagination, and some pre-planning, your home can smell fresh, clean and not so lived in! Something most of us strive for on a daily basis.
Hope it helps and have a fresh fresh house

All of these products are fine, but realize your drapes, upholstery, carpets all hold odors. They need to be cleaned as well.
One cleaner fragrance I enjoyed was a rosemary scented floor cleaner from Target. Doubt they still have it.
And, sometimes the water in our homes stinks. This will affect how the house smells. Only cure there is to get a filter for the incoming water that removes odors.

As far as the kitchen I use PineSol or Mr. Clean Products to clean everything down including the walls
Living room I have hard wood floors and use Murphy's Oil Soap for the furniture and floors.
Couch and Drapes I spray with a mixture of liquid fabric softener and water. Once a month I wipe the couch down down with Woolite and water to clean them.
Bathroom- I like just using bleach on everything
Bedrooms- I use the Murphy's oil soap for my furniture and spray the bedding down with the fabric softener and water mixture.
I burn a candle in every room everyday (except my son's room) I use a different scent in each room but ones that blend together.

I've tryed "SIMPLY GREEN" inside my car and got lots of compliments
so, I started using at home and got more compliments.
Follow the instruction on the bottle, you can easily make the solution
to strong. You can also buy the trial size bottle at a great savings if you
find out the scent is not for you. You can find this product at supermarkets
in the auto section or at the auto supply store. I' not sure on the price.

Special Orange-scented cleaners are nice. I also like scented candles for when I'm finished cleaning.
