Living, or even just vacationing, in a small RV with several
family members can lead to bad smells quick. The RV itself may emit some foul
odors from the toilets or sinks, especially if they don’t seal properly. And
staying in an RV for any amount of time encourages more outdoor adventures,
which brings back some pretty gnarly smells into the RV, like sweaty clothes,
wet clothes, and stinky feet. So, how do you make it smell good again? We’ve
been living in our RV for over three years now and have found some great ways
to keep it smelling fresh and clean. Here’s what we do:
Kids Room: A
compact essential oil diffuser in the kids rooms is a space saver while still
emitting a nice scent, purifying the air, and providing a soft night light. Our
boys make sure to refill and turn on “Mr. Mister” (their name for their
diffuser) every night before getting in bed.
Essential oils allow you to choose which scents you wish to
diffuse into the air and some provide disinfecting qualities and air
purification as well. You can also switch out oils and use lavender, which is
known to encourage sleepiness, during the night and something more sunny during
the day like orange or lemon, which is a disinfectant. Here’s a great
starterkit with the most commonly used basic oils:
Living Area: A
scented wax warmer is stronger than an essential oil diffuser, so a larger
space is best, like the living area. A
decorative wax warmer is beautiful and
functional. When turned on, it also lights up and serves as a beautiful lamp
that smells great. You can find a
variety of scents to suit your mood and theme.
Entire RV: To
make the entire RV smell fresh, pick up your heating vent cover, wrap a
dryer sheet around the bottom, and place it back into the floor. The vent will hold
the dryer sheet in place and the clean smell with spread throughout the entire
RV, especially when the furnace turns on.
I hope you found some of these tips to be useful for your
space. What are some tips that you have to keep your RV, or other small space,
smelling great?
