Masking Unpleasant Odors around the House

As a single mom doing my best to raise two teenage boys, I’ve had my share of joys and frustrations. I have a sneaking suspicion that my home would be a bit quieter and tidier if I had two girls instead, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. When the boys come home from football practice in the fall, their gear is soaked in sweat and all of the equipment stinks to high heaven. It’s all I can do to keep from gagging.

When offensive odors begin to filter through the household, I immediately turn on a pair of electric candle warmers. Plug-in air fresheners and deodorizers mount an attack on the senses, overpowering all other smells but becoming overwhelming in their own right. Tart warmers are much more subtle, and they come in a wide variety of appealing scents. Until the boys grow up and move away to college, I’ll be sticking with these trusty tart warmers.
