In-between whole-office commercial cleanings, there are a few things you can do to keep things looking and smelling great. Unless you live in a lavish office building with luxe amenities you’re probably not used to things smelling “fresh.” This doesn’t mean things are smelling bad, but it probably wouldn’t be a big leap to assume odor doesn’t permeate your mental thought space very often.

 

Well, did you know scent can affect people’s moods, work performance, and behavior? Try these scentsational tips and tricks to bring a dose of fresh back to the workplace.

 

The toilet treatment

 

A drop of your favorite fragrant oil or a fresh smelling cleaning product dropped on the toilet cleaning brush will keep restrooms smelling fresh

 

Use essential oils

 

Dab some minty essential oils on light bulbs. It will freshen the air as the heat activates the fragrance. You can also invest in a small oil diffuser if it will not upset any coworkers or employees. Rosemary is a great fragrance for concentration and productivity while Bergamot boosts mood and Lemongrass increases energy.

 

Buy some plants

 

Not only do plants instantly brighten a space, they also help to filter the air, improving overall air quality throughout your office or workspace.

 

Use carpet refreshers

 

Baking soda can also be substituted, but there are a number of scented carpet  powders that can be sprinkled onto surfaces prior to vacuuming.

 

Keep things ventilated

 

One of the best ways to combat odor is by keeping areas well ventilated, whether through the use of fans or merely opening some windows (should weather permit).

 

Scented candles

 

Again, depending on employee and coworker preference you can place scented candles throughout the office or on your desk that you can sniff throughout the day.
