Love Mrs. Meyers geranium scent. I think it smells like I would imagine that June Cleaver's house smells like. The countertop spray really makes the house smell nice

knoodleknits, can you say more about the charcoal?  I'm a fan of natural wood charcoal in my garden, but I've never used it for odor/dampness removal.  Do you just set it out and it absorbs stuff?  Do you use the stuff you buy in bags at the natural foods store?  How much, etc?  I'm curious...

I like to simmer a pot of water with either orange peel or a bit of apple with cinnamon.  Mmmmmmm!
