Caldrea Countertop Spray – Gilded Balsam Birch

This scent is luxury in a bottle. Warm, woodsy notes with a soft vanilla twist. I use it on my counters, and without fail, guests always ask what smells so good. It’s subtle, grown-up fall.

Mrs. Meyer’s Apple Cider Collection

I’ve stocked up on the Apple Cider hand soap, dish soap, and multi-surface cleaner. They scream fall without being artificial or overpowering. Plus, Mrs. Meyer’s products are plant-based and safe for pets and kids.

Pro Tip: The Clean Day Kitchen Basics Pack makes a great seasonal gift!

Method All-Purpose Spray – Honeycrisp Apple

This scent is bright, juicy, and so satisfying. I use it in the kitchen and dining area, and it gives off that fresh-picked orchard vibe. Also, Method bottles are recyclable and the formula is non-toxic.

Mrs. Meyer’s Acorn Spice Multi-Surface Cleaner

This one’s for the pumpkin-spice skeptics. It’s earthier, a little spicy, and totally addictive. Great for fall kitchen messes and wiping down shelves.

Pumpkin Spice Antibacterial Hand Soap

A seasonal hand soap that actually kills germs and smells like a pumpkin spice latte? Yes, please. I keep one in the kitchen and another in the guest bathroom.

Poo-Pourri – Pumpkin Spice Scent

Yes, even your bathroom deserves to smell festive. Just a couple of spritzes before you go and boom — no one knows what happened in there. Bonus: it’s essential oil-based.

Method Hardwood Floor Cleaner – Almond Scent

Not exclusively a fall scent, but the warm almond smell feels like autumn to me. It works beautifully on wood floors — no sticky residue, just a natural, cozy scent that lingers.

Puracy Multi-Surface Concentrate – Tea & Lemon

Okay, not exactly a fall scent, but it pairs well with other cozy smells. It’s gentle, plant-based, and a great base to mix in your own essential oils. (Pumpkin + clove = perfection.)

Mrs. Meyer’s Orange Clove Cleaner

This one doesn’t get enough love. Bright citrus meets deep clove — it cuts through grease like a charm and leaves your space smelling like spiced cider.

Fall Scented Air Fresheners & Plug-Ins (Because Who Has Time to Bake a Pie?)

Sometimes you just need to plug in a little fall joy and be done with it. These are the best scents for that:

Febreze Air – Fresh Fall Pumpkin

A total crowd-pleaser. This soft, sweet scent masks odors without being too heavy. I use it in entryways and hallways, and it instantly makes things feel more inviting.

Glade Apple Cinnamon Spray

A classic. Spritz it around your house after a quick clean and it’ll smell like you’ve been baking all day. Great for guest-ready moments.

Air Wick Plug-In – Pumpkin Spice Scent

Pop this into your outlet and let the cozy vibes roll. It’s subtle, not fake-smelling, and lasts for weeks.

Air Wick Freshener Spray – Toasty Pumpkin Spice

Warm, rich, and a little nostalgic — like wrapping yourself in a fall blanket. I keep one in my coat closet so I get a burst of autumn every time I open the door.

Quick DIY Ways to Make Your Home Smell Like Fall (No Products Needed)

If you want your house to smell like a fall dream without buying anything new, try these cozy hacks:

Simmer pot: On the stove, simmer water with cinnamon sticks, cloves, orange peels, and a splash of vanilla extract.

DIY potpourri: Mix dried apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and orange zest in a bowl. Set it on your coffee table or entryway.

Essential oil diffuser: Add pumpkin spice, cinnamon bark, or orange oil to your diffuser.

Candles: Try “Autumn Wreath” or “Sweater Weather” for instant fall ambience.

Who says cleaning can’t be cozy? Whether you’re doing a quick tidy or a deep fall clean, these products will make it feel like you’re scrubbing in a pumpkin patch.

I’m already obsessed with Method and Mrs. Meyer’s, but I’m seriously tempted to try that Stonewall Pumpkin Soap and Caldrea’s fancy woodsy spray next.
