Now you may actually CLOSE the windows so you smell the aroma from your new paint job!

It was at the National Hardware Show 2003 that I learned about a new way to overcome the sometimes sickening smell of fresh paint. It was devised by four guys from Thomasville, Ga. They came up with a paint additive they called Paint Pourri. It’s a liquid that comes in a plastic pouch that you stir into a gallon of paint before you use it. Once mixed in, you paint as you normally do. But the Paint Pourri now acts as an air freshener that can last as long a year. Now this is a surprise; 7 years later and the product is still around! The company that markets it is Scentco. And they call the experience of using Paint Pourri, A-Room-a-Therapy – I love it! Scentco says this product can be effective in reducing and eliminating pet odors, smoke odors or use it just to refresh a room. And they say you can use it just about anywhere - bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms, basements, garages or any room in your home. What? Not a warehouse? Since the aroma can last up to a year I suggest you pick a scent you like a lot! There are several scents to choose from: Lavender Breeze, Ocean Breeze, Simply Clean, Simply Citrus, Soft Vanilla, Tropical Winds and Wildflower. They are $2.95 per package. You need one 1 ounce package per gallon, but the company says if you want a stronger odor, you can use two!
