Keeping Your House Smelling Good Always

How can you make your home smell good--all the time! The following are the essential things you must do to make your home smell nice to start receiving compliments about how clean your home smells and also change the scent of your home.

The first step for a fresh home is to rid it of unpleasant smells. It's not enough to cover unpleasant odors using air fresheners. Your trash cans or even your garbage disposal might be the cause of the bad smells that can be found in your home. Therefore, a bit of house deodorizing might be a good suggestion for you to start with.

What is the best method to deodorize your home?

1. Clean garbage cans and bins frequently

If you want to get rid of house odors, it is important to determine the source. Your unpleasant odors could originate from your trash. It's possible for it to quickly change from mild to sour. Make sure you change the bathroom and kitchen can liner at least every two days or more frequently when you notice an odor.

2. Take care to clean out your refrigerator

The fridge is another cause. You should go through it at least every week and throw away things that are no longer at their peak. One easy method to clean your refrigerator is to place an open container of baking soda in it to help absorb smells.

3. Sprinkle baking soda on the floor prior to vacuuming

To eliminate odors as well as make the carpet smell lovely, make a mixture of baking soda and essential oil drops in the bowl. Sprinkle it on your rug or carpet. It should be left to sit for a few hours to absorb any smells!

4. Unlock the windows

If the weather is good, the best method to air freshen the home would be to unblock your windows. For just about an hour or so! Fresh air can help remove the smells of cooking or any other smells that are lingering by this method.

5. Make use of your Crock-Pot

Do you realize that you could make use of your slow cooker to get rid of odors from your home?

• Pour some water into the slow cooker (a smaller one is ideal for this; however, any size will suffice)
• Include 3 or more tablespoons of baking soda.
• Switch your slow cooker to low.
• Make sure the lid is off, and let this mixture make magic!

6. Get an air purifier

To make your home smelling fresh and clean, make sure to run your air purifier on a regular basis. Alongside removing the smell of your home, it also reduces pollen and dust.

7. Create your own deodorizer for your pet.

If you're a pet owner, you're aware that they have distinct smells. If you've ever thought about how you can keep your home fresh and clean with pets, make this homemade pet deodorizer.

Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda, 2 cups water that has been distilled, and 8-12 drops of essential oil that is pet-safe in the spray bottle.

You can spray it on your pet or on their bed to neutralize the smells.

Make sure you brush your pet on a regular basis and vacuum furniture and carpets. If you do have an accident, make use of a pet stain or an odor remover as soon as you can.

8. Eliminate the musty towel smells

One of the smells that can threaten the freshness of your house is the odor of a damp towel. Here's a quick and easy method to get rid of your towels of the unpleasant mildewy smell. Let your towels soak for a few hours in hot water, along with one or two cups of vinegar. They can be laid out in the bathtub or thrown in the washer (but don't load the machine!). The next day, rinse like you normally and voila! There's no more musty odor.

9. Refresh your footwear

It is possible that you do not realize the fact that your shoes are contributing to the smell in your house.

Spray all the shoes' insides with Shoe-Pourri in order to get rid of any unpleasant smells. Another trick is to spray dry shampoo or place dry-cleaning sheets in your footwear in order to soak up any smell.

10. Use drain cleaner

The drains in your sink could be another factor that contributes to the scent of your house. Glistening the foamy cleaners is our favorite method to refresh the kitchen drain.
