There is nothing worse than an unpleasant household odor. To regain the comfort and serenity of our home you want to eradicate any bad smell. There are odor masks like room sprays, deodorizers, and scented candles, but they are not permanent, they can get costly, and ultimately don’t fix the underlying problem. Here are a few suggestions to help you deal with the top nose offenders.
Household trash can cause an odor problem.
First, if that trash bag has raw meat packaging, dirty diapers or leftover food in it, take the bag to the outside trash bin before bed. Those bacteria and microbes work quickly and efficiently in your warm home, which makes odors go from bad to worse fast.
When the trash can itself contains the smell or if there is a spill from the bag, wash it with warm soapy water and let it completely dry. To counterbalance future odors before they happen in a plastic can, add a little baking soda or scented cat litter to the bottom of the can before inserting a new bag. To avoid corrosion in a metal can, put the baking soda in a small container with vent holes so it does not come into contact with the metal.
Sink drains and garbage disposal can stink.
Whether there’s junk stuck in the pipes and garbage disposal or gas is escaping from the drain trap, there’s nothing worse than a rotten food smell coming from the sink. Here are eight hacks to rid your kitchen of funky sink odors.
Musty and damp smells
There are a few reasons that cabinets, cupboards, and furniture may take on a not-so-nice musty aroma. It is often a result of moisture which can be caused by leaking pipes in the walls, but also by poor ventilation and air circulation. These smells can be an early indicator of mold and mildew. It’s important to identify if there is mold because it can be toxic to the health of your family. Learn more about musty odors and removing them.
If there is another odor you are looking to eradicate, a quick search on Google will likely give you information you need.
