5 Simple Tips For A Sweeter Smelling Home
2

• No matter how clean you think you keep your home,
  sometimes it just doesnt smell fresh, and youre
  left scratching your head wondering what to do
  about it. While having your home regularly
  cleaned by a cleaning service is a great way of
  ensuring that dirt and bad smells are kept to a
  minimum, there are a few simple things you can do
  yourself, to guarantee a sweeter-smelling home

3

• Do your best to keep everyday odors at bay
• Some amount of odor is inevitable throughout the
  course of a regular day in your home, and this
  can be as a result of pets in need of a bath,
  cooking, or any other activities that tend to
  produce a lingering smell. To counteract those
  not-so pleasing aromas, try opening the windows
  for an hour or two to allow them to dissipate,
  and for fresh air to come in and replace them.
  You can also try cutting a lemon in half and
  leaving it in offending areas of your home, to
  absorb the unpleasant aromas. Baking soda also
  works wonderfully well for absorbing odors, and
  acts as a natural home deodoriser.

• Dont let laundry odors prevail
• Nothing smells worse than unwashed laundry,
  particularly if it has had a chance to build up
  over a few days. Whether you were too busy to do
  the laundry, or youve simply been overwhelmed by
  too much of it, the longer it lies around, the
  worse your home will start to smell. It may also
  be that the washing machine itself is causing a
  stink, in which case you can run a hot wash using
  vinegar and baking soda that youve placed into
  the detergent and softener dispenser.

5

• Once youve tackled the machine, you can move on
  to the dirty laundry and get them washed.
• Between washes, always leave the door of the
  machine open so that it has a chance to dry out
  properly, and change the filter and wipe the
  gasket as and when needed you might be surprised
  at just how much grey gunk is hiding in your
  washing machine, and the longer it stays there,
  the worse it will smell.

6

• Clean your bedroom
• While old bedsheets and a stale mattress wont
  make the entire home smell, they can certainly do
  a good job of stinking out the bedroom! As well
  as washing your sheets at least once a fortnight
  (ideally you should try to do this every week),
  you should clean your mattress, too. A good
  cleansing and deodorising solution that can be
  sprinkled over the mattress, left for a couple of
  hours, and the excess vacuumed, consists of
  baking soda, a little water and white vinegar
  mixed together.

7

• Get to grips with kitchen odors
• Overflowing trash cans and smelly dishwashers are
  the prime culprits behind kitchen odors. While
  emptying the trash can and cleaning inside it
  once a week usually helps, the dishwasher may
  need to be deep cleaned once in a while, and
  luckily, this is easy enough to do with a cupful
  of white vinegar and a hot cycle.
• For refrigerator odors, leaving an open tub of
  baking soda at the back on a shelf can help to
  safely absorb food smells, as can cleaning
  spillages as soon as they occur.

8

• For a smelly sink, be sure to clean it once a day
  and dont neglect the plug and plug hole, which
  can be real breeding grounds for germs and start
  to smell if bits of food waste are caught up in
  them.
• Banish bathroom odors
• Regular bathroom cleaning is the best solution to
  smelly problems in this room of the home, and
  just by keeping the toilet, shower, tub and sinks
  clean, you can help it smell a lor fresher. Stale
  towels that havent had a chance to dry out
  properly can also start to smell, so make sure
  you regularly swap them out, and try to dry them
  fully between uses.

9

• For a home that smells sweet every day, hire a
  cleaning company to help make sure all odors are
  tackled promptly and effectively, and that dust,
  dirt and mold never has a chance to build up and
  start a stink.
