There are a lot of things I love about renting an apartment.
First, when things break, we don’t have to worry about paying to fix them. Just last week, our washing machine completely broke. Thankfully, our amazing apartment maintenance purchased and installed a new one for us within the week – at no cost.
Also, it’s fun having a pool, gym, and tennis courts less than 100 yards away. And not feeling “stuck” in one place if next year we decide we want to move somewhere else.
But with all of the positives of renting, there are also some big negatives.
For one, it can be difficult to justify “throwing money away” instead of investing it into a mortgage.
Also, there’s just something about the neighbors in an apartment complex vs. a neighborhood. Everyone just comes and goes, sometimes without even saying hi.
But probably the worst thing about an apartment is the smell. The people who used to live just across the hall from us smoke, and we would leave the house for the weekend and come back with it smelling like smoke. We wondered if our apartment always smelled like that and we had just gotten used to it!
We asked our friends, and thankfully they hadn’t noticed it, but regardless we decided to find a way to keep our house smelling fresh. I believe that a huge part of having a happy home is that it smells fresh and clean!
We came across P&G Unstopables products, and they are the best!
What I love about P&G Unstopables is that the entire line is color-coordinated. You can choose a color that fits into your home décor, and match each of the product colors to your personal style! The brand encourages people to create their own “scent décor” – a personal scent profile that you can use to style your home. Interior designer Nate Berkus’ gives tips on how to do that here, including to “breathe some life into your home by playing with patterns, textures, colors, and fragrances that inspire.”
Since most of our apartment walls are painted turquoise, I was so happy to see that P&G Unstopables has turquoise products! This coordinates so well with our home’s existing style – plus the turquoise scent is “fresh,” which is exactly what our apartment needs! I love that we can combine good scent and great décor with Unstopables.
We keep a candle and air refresher in our living room, and the fabric refresher and fabric scent booster in our laundry room. We also keep extras stocked in the fabric basket shown above.
Below are some of the various products in the P&G Unstopables line.
As you can see, there are SO many good ones! Let me highlight a few of them.
Fabric Refresher: This provides up to seven days of freshness with each use and is infused with a long-lasting fragrance technology that slowly releases freshness over time.
Air Refresher: This is formulated with a unique spray technology that fills the air with up to six hours of freshness on each use.
In-Wash Scent Booster: These are little beads which infuse linens, towels, and clothes with up to 12 weeks of freshness. Hudson especially likes using these on his smelly undershirts!
Scented Oil Warmer + Oil Refill: This has a double-wick technology that automatically alternates between two complementary scents of perfume oils. Cool, right?
Candle: Consistent the other products, this gives off a warm, inviting glow while providing a long-lasting fresh scent.
As you can see, each of the products delivers rich, long-lasting scents while adding style to your home décor! And best of all, the products are inexpensive compared to some competitors.
Here are the available scents and colors:
- Fresh (Turquoise): “irresistibly light and vibrant”
- Lush (Purple): “fabulously lavender floral and vanilla”
- Shimmer (Pink): “enticingly fruity and floral”
