TOP 4 NATURAL WAYS TO GET RID OF AN ANNOYING SMELL IN YOUR HOUSE OR OFFICE

Undoubtedly, you‘ll feel disturbed and annoyed if there’s a worrisome nasty odor that oozes out of your apartment or office. This can be embarrassing and bring your negative looks when you have guests who come visiting. You expect a sweet scent to welcome you, but instead, you’re hit with a disgusting smell which fouls your mood immediately.

When you perceive this foul smell, the first thing that comes to mind is, “Where is this smell coming from?” Even after discovering the source, what comes to mind is ways of getting rid of the foul smell.

In this piece, we highlight the top 4 natural ways you can get rid of an annoying smell in your house or office, as to avoid the embarrassment that comes with it.

Empty your Trash Bin Regularly

In most cases where your apartment has a foul odor, an overfilled trash bin is always the cause. This is not unusual and is because all the junks and rubbish from the house is thrown into it. Sometimes, people leave the trash bin uncovered or allow it to overfill and spill on the floor. This causes the foul smell to diffuse into the room. The smell will remain in the place for days and weeks to come.

What to Do?

Always cover your waste bin and throw your trash before the smell sticks to the surfaces of the room. Also, clean your waste bin thoroughly at least once a week.

Try the Vinegar

Vinegar can serve a great purpose in situations where the smell has already stuck to the surfaces of the room. This all-rounder and inexpensive liquid can make your house free from this disgusting stubborn smells and smell as good as new. Place a bowl of vinegar in the area that stinks and leave it overnight. By the next day, the smell will disappear.

 Try Baking Soda or Bicarbonate

Your upholstered furniture or carpet is another place bad odor can come from in your house. To get rid of this, sprinkle baking soda on the surface and leave for a night. By the next day, the smell will be gone. Another place this cleaning hack can play a role is in getting rid of foul smell from your fridge. If your fridge smells terrible, put baking soda in a container and keep it in the refrigerator. The baking soda will absorb the foul smell within a few hours. This is the same hack used in eliminating the smell that comes out of shoes.

Use Home Made Disinfectants and Air Fresheners

Using air fresheners and disinfectants can be a great idea. However, on considering the health effects of using too much synthetic air fresheners and disinfectants, you may want to reconsider. Going for homemade air fresheners is a cost-effective and health-friendly way of getting rid of smells. Essential oils like lavender, tea tree, peppermint, lemon oil, eucalyptus, etc. have anti-odor and anti-bacterial properties. These properties make them an excellent option for making your house smell good, rather than using expensive chemical made solutions.

Conclusively, nothing beats conducting a thorough cleaning on the apartment, especially when the foul smell is too intense for these tips above. A cleaning service provider will take the time to deeply clean your apartment or office and get it rid of all forms of odors. This is achieved using some of these tips for getting rid of annoying smells in the house in addition to other deep-cleaning techniques.

Your house/office is where you spend most of your time; keep it at its best, for you and your guests.
