If you feel like your home doesn’t smell as good as it could, then you’re not alone. This guide will help you make the right changes to eliminate bad odors while making your home a sanctuary.
Focus on your kitchen
Kitchen smells are somewhat runny. The smell of the kitchen will depend on what she is cooking. If you want your kitchen to smell better then one thing you can do is to neutralize and then freshen up your space. If you have a bad smell in the kitchen, then smell around your dishwasher. Although it may sound counterintuitive, you need to clean your dishwasher from time to time. Here you will be able to refer to the cleaning instructions for your dishwasher. If you can, make sure to put some coffee grounds in the fridge or freezer as well. If you do this then you will be able to absorb the smells from the previous week’s leftovers. Don’t have coffee on hand? Soak a cotton ball in a little vanilla extract to eliminate the smell. You can also invest in herbal cleaning products if you want to clean your fridge without harsh chemicals.
Proceed to the bathroom
Bathrooms are very easy to work on if you know what to do. You can create one healing spring– like a perfume with ease too. Hang some eucalyptus branches in your shower if you want to make a difference. The great thing about this is that the steam will rise and release the oils in the leaves. This will leave your bathroom smelling great and will also help clear your sinuses. You can also light some candles or take some air freshener. Things like this can leave a solid, good smell in the room and that’s usually enough to deal with any bad smells.
Next, Bedroom
You probably spend a lot of time in your bedroom, whether it’s seclusion or just relaxing. Distribute some dryers in the drawers and cupboards in your bedroom. If you find that your clothes are still a little musty, put some vodka in a spray bottle and then go through all your clothes. If you can do this, then you will soon find that the alcohol ends up removing the odor directly from the clothes, leaving you with a nice smell in the end. Make sure you’re liberal here, but at the same time don’t overdo it. If you do, then you may find that the smell of alcohol remains.
Finally, the Living Room
Sometimes, vacuuming will leave a bad smell. If you want to stop it, put in some cotton balls and change some essences in the vacuum bag. The best thing about it is that it will transfer the fragrance to your carpet or rug, which can leave you with a fantastic smell throughout the house. Deodorize the carpet using some baking soda and don’t be afraid to invest in some dehumidifiers if you notice you have a lot of condensation on the window.
