[QUOTE=hopetoquilt;6174080]I have been told of the possible fire hazard of the plug ins.
I heard this too, but according to the websites that debunk stuff, it isn't true. I've used them for a long time and the manufacturer says they are safe.
However, I don't have an extra plug for one in my sewing room (in my basement) but my room smells clean. We run a dehumidifier so the air is fresher.

Scented products trigger migraines for me, none in our house. I cannot spend much time in a home where they are used.
I have an old rose bush outside the window and the window is open year round (only a crack in the winter).
In the summer it smells like laundry that was hung on the clothes line. I love my clothes line.
I do have cats and a dog that visit the room and the dog sleeps there every night. The dog's quilt gets washed regularly.

Actually, I have a ceramic bowl of dried potpourri. Large chunks of a mixture that has the scent of lilac. I shake up the contents to release a light fragrance in the room. No headaches because it is a light scent.

I used a candle once and set one of my quilts I was working on, on fire lol. I usually have fresh air from the outside. The only smell in here is the Fabulouso that I wash the floor with and the spray starch. I keep it dusted as my long arm is in here and my computers. I only sew and cut in here.
Now if you asked me how my quilt and doll room smells.....I have all the quilts rolled on tubes in one corner and the dolls on long ceiling shelves. I put those large soaps that come from Spain, France etc placed all over the place. That room smells divine lol. Some of my fabric is in this room in a huge cupboard and in the dresser drawer. All my fabrics are washed before they are stored.
If you are having a musty smell, it would be a good idea to check for dampness.
