Why it matters

Smell is the first sense to trigger reviews mentioning cleanliness. A signature scent creates a mental cue that the space is freshly prepared.

A consistent scent tied to your brand reinforces cleanliness and calm. Use hypoallergenic diffusers and a reset routine between stays.

How to implement it

  • Choose a hypoallergenic essential oil blend (citrus + herbal).
  • Diffuse for 20 minutes before check-in and leave a small reed diffuser in the entryway.
  • Train cleaners to follow the same reset steps every turnover.

Checklist

  • Pick a scent blend and order supplies

  • Document scent reset steps for cleaners

  • Place diffusers at entry and living room

FAQ

What if guests have allergies?

Use essential oils without synthetic fragrance and communicate ingredients in your welcome guide.

How strong should the scent be?

Diffuse lightly for 15–20 minutes before arrival and avoid leaving powered diffusers running all day so the fragrance stays subtle.
