Air freshener recommendations?

[Cliff H.]

Hi folks. I've seen great results in my STR on focusing on making the space more relaxing and with small elements of a spa-like experience. Along these lines, I've been seeking a better alternative than glade plugins or potpourri in the entry way for providing a welcoming smell. This is a key element of many higher end hotels and something Airbnb talks about as a way to hit the five senses as guests come into your home. Ideally I would like to find something with a long shelf life, perhaps one that runs only during a guest stay or can be remote controlled by electrical outlet that I can integrate with the automated lights and door locks I have on place now.

Have any of you found any diffusers or other form of deodorizers to be particularly effective in your STRs that aren’t overpowering or otherwise like a nuclear odor bomb going off like those gyro style twist and open air fresheners?

@Cliff H. I have airwick plug-ins in all of my properties. They auto ship to my cleaner from amazon. On the rare occasion that someone complains because they don’t like the smell or they have an allergy, I simply remind them that they can UNPLUG them. I want my houses smelling beautiful. It works for me.
