It is important to keep your home smelling fresh so that visitors don?t think that you have a dirty house. Try these different methods of cleaning your home or refreshing the air to have a house that smells nice.
1: Increase a Home?s Air Circulation
Opening the windows of your home is the simplest way to remove nasty odors from cooking broccoli or after someone has smoked a cigarette. If you can?t open a window because it is too cold or rainy, then turn on an exhaust fan over a stove or in a nearby bathroom.
2: Clean Pet Stains with Vinegar and Water
The best way of removing those annoying pet stains is to use a half and half mix of white vinegar and water.
If the area that you want to clean is still wet with urine, blot the area with a dry paper towel or cloth first to soak up any excess liquid.
Continue blotting until every bit of urine is gone and the paper towel comes back dry. You’re not done yet, though.
After getting up the excess urine, apply the vinegar solution and blot the area to take out the urine stain and odor.
If the stain is still detectable after the carpet is completely dry, repeat this process again. Taking care to blot and not scrub and fray the carpet fibers.
3: Vacuum Frequently & Use Baking Soda
Keep you home clean by vacuuming frequently. In addition, you can sprinkle plain baking soda on to the carpets and brush it in with a broom, then let it sit for a? Day or so and vacuum it up.? This adds an extra layer of freshness to your home.
4: Burn a Candle Inside Your Home
If you have a scented candle, then light it to reduce the odor in your home with its fragrance. You can find candles in an assortment of aromatic scents that are already in glass jars, or you can place small candles in candleholders.
5: Clean the Garbage Disposal In Your Kitchen
When the drains in your home?s kitchen smell bad, it might be caused by a dirty garbage disposal unit that has decaying food particles inside it. Pour a cup of baking soda in your kitchen?s sink drain before adding a cup of white vinegar. This will create a chemical reaction that will remove the decaying food particles and grease so that the garbage disposal smells nicer.
6: Change the Filter In a Furnace or Air Conditioner
You should change the filter in your home?s air conditioner or furnace at least once a month to help prevent bad odors inside your home. In addition to changing the air filters, make sure to dust the vents inside your home so that the climate-controlled air will circulate properly.
7: Wash the Walls Inside Your Home
To keep your home smelling fresh, make sure to wash the walls and ceilings in each room at least once a year. The bathrooms in your home can have a foul odor from mildew, and the surfaces in a kitchen can develop a stench from a buildup of grease. Use a mixture of dish detergent and warm water to wash your home?s ceilings and walls thoroughly.
