"Spring-cleaning season is here! Normally that&amp;#x27;s a sentence that does not invite happy exclamation points&amp;amp;#8212;but if you use cleaners that actually smell nice, it can make the experience a lot more enjoyable. I tested out several affordable products on the market to find what the best scents are this season. These are my favorites. Nontoxic, essential oils: Better Life&amp;#x27;s Simply Floored! Floor Cleaner One thing I noticed in my test was that often the all-natural products that are toxic-free were also better-smelling. Take, for example, Better Life&amp;#x27;s line of household cleaners. The products were developed by two dads who wanted products that were plant-based, free of toxic residues, and safe for their children to be around. In terms of best-smelling, however, I liked their floor cleaner, which is scented using only essential oils of citrus and mint. Better Life Simply Floored! Floor Cleaner, $7, cleanhappens.com Naturally-scented, nontoxic: Caldrea&amp;#x27;s Black Coriander Lime Countertop Spray If you&amp;#x27;re looking for a fragrant household cleaner, you can&amp;#x27;t go wrong with anything from Caldrea. The brand has several scents that I enjoy using, but I think my favorite has to be the Black Coriander Lime. With notes of black peppercorn, cardamom, and lime, it&amp;#x27;s subtle and not overly sweet&amp;amp;#8212;and the perfect complement to the spring and summer seasons. Caldrea Black Coriander Lime Countertop Spray, $9, caldrea.com Biodegradable ingredients: Method&amp;#x27;s Lime + Sea Salt All-Purpose Cleaner Once summer hits, I&amp;#x27;ll be using this nontoxic, use-it-everywhere cleaner because the tart lime and sea salt scent reminds me of drinking margaritas, which, let&amp;#x27;s be honest, is what we&amp;#x27;d all rather be doing than cleaning. Method Lime + Sea Salt All-Purpose Cleaner, $4, methodhome.com Eco-friendly: Mrs. Meyer&amp;#x27;s Clean Day Kitchen Basics Set in Sunflower Like Caldrea above, I love all of the scents from Mrs. Meyer&amp;#x27;s and have used everything from the candles to the laundry detergent&amp;amp;#8212;they work as well as they smell. This summer, however, I&amp;#x27;ll be using the new Sunflower scent. It&amp;#x27;s fresh, floral, and makes me think of bright sunshine. Mrs. Meyer&amp;#x27;s Clean Day Kitchen Basics Set (Hand Soap, Countertop Spray, and Dish Soap) in Sunflower, $11, mrsmeyers.com Natural ingredients: J.R. Watkins&amp;#x27; White Tea &amp;amp; Bamboo All-Purpose Cleaner If you&amp;#x27;re the type who likes bright, fresh scents&amp;amp;#8212;the kind that just smells clean, if you know what I mean&amp;amp;#8212;then I&amp;#x27;d suggest the White Tea and Bamboo from J.R. Watkins. It combines notes of wood with citrus and florals for a really crisp fragrance. J.R. Watkins White Tea and Bamboo All-Purpose Cleaner, $5, jrwatkins.com Plant-based: Seventh Generation&amp;#x27;s Green Mandarin and Leaf Shower Cleaner Much like Better Life earlier in this list, Seventh Generation is made with plant-derived cleaning agents and uses real essential oils to scent the nontoxic products. As a result, the daily shower clean not only prevents soap scum but leaves a fresh scent rather than those too-strong fumes. Seventh Generation Green Mandarin and Leaf Shower Cleaner, $3.50, seventhgeneration.com Plant-based: Ecover&amp;#x27;s Lemon and Aloe Vera Dishwashing Liquid Lemon is always a favorite scent of mine when it comes to cleaning supplies&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;#x27;s bright, fresh, and citrus is strong without being overpowering. Ecover&amp;#x27;s is great because the products are plant-based and natural fragrances. Ecover Lemon and Aloe Vera Dishwashing Liquid, $6, soap.com Fragrance-free: Simply Spotless Essential Cleaning Kit If scents aren&amp;#x27;t your thing and you prefer to have more of a neutral, subtle scent, then I&amp;#x27;d recommend going with the line of Simply Spotless. Created by an interior designer and her daughters, it&amp;#x27;s made to be gentle yet effective, with the fabrics and finishes on your furniture. The scent is not overpowering, which is a good choice for somebody who is sensitive to smell or gets headaches from strong fragrances. Simply Spotless Essential Cleaning Kit, $49, simplyspotlessny.com What&amp;#x27;s your favorite cleaning product to use? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
