Freshen up the air in your Spanish Holiday Home

Spending time in your Spanish holiday home is always exciting however entering a stuffy house is less than desirable. Being hit by that wall of stale air makes you feel short of breathe and the odor can be really unpleasant.

Unfortunately any house that has been under lock and key for some time will smell stuffy and musty, if it isn't also damp. If you don't have your Spanish home cared for by a home minding service, you will want to ask a friend to air out the home a day or two before you arrive. If you don't have a house minding service or a kind friend to rely on you can freshen up your home within a few hours of settling in.

To freshen up your home start by opening up all the doors and windows and let the natural air circulate throughout the house. Clean air will up freshen up your soft furnishings and drapery and help dry out anything that feels a little damp.

Older Spanish homes are more likely to have damp problems so it best to air your home out everyday until the damp ceases to be a problem. If you have soft furnishings that have mildew on them a good soaking in color safe bleach will clean them right up.

Spraying chemical deodorizers will also help alleviate smells as a short term fix but won't rid your house of musty or bad smells. Spraying Natural deodorizers are far more effective and less offensive to your health and the environment.

To invigorate your senses and fragrance the air in your home buy natural deodorizers like fresh cut fragranced flowers. Oriental Lilies look and smell amazing and you can buy them from any florist. The perfumed fragrance will linger through the air and brighten up your casa, piso or finca.

The perfume is just heavenly and your home will smell like spring is in the air.
Oriental lilies can be a little overwhelming so feel free to separate out the floral arrangement and pop one or two flowers into the vase, then place them in and around the home.

Be careful with all the windows being opened as Oriental Lilies are long stemmed and you don't want the wind to knock them over. Enjoy the sweet fragrance while you're on vacation in your Spanish home away from home.
