Sprinkle Carpets and Rugs With Baking Soda

When you get close enough to your carpets or rugs and realize that they smell, you may not know how to clean them. They are too big to put through the wash, but a vacuum won’t do much.

Is there anything you can do? Yes!

You can sprinkle the carpets and rugs with baking soda liberally to get rid of the odors.

Utilize Your Lightbulbs

You may have never heard of this one before.

But if your home is a bit smelly and you want a fresh-smelling home, you can rub vanilla onto the lightbulbs around the house. When the lightbulbs warm up, it will make the house smell like vanilla!

Clean Your Drains

If you feel that some of the bad odors are coming from your drains, there is something you can do about that, too.

Mix one cup of baking soda and one cup of white vinegar. Pour it down the drain and let it sit for an hour. Flush with warm water an hour later.

Repeat this as necessary for odor removal.

Open the Windows

If it is a nice day outside, typically in the fall or the spring months, there’s no better way to naturally eliminate odors than to just open the windows! Fresh air will come in, and the stale, smelly air will go out.

Use an Exhaust Fan in the Bathroom

You may notice that there is a weird odor coming from the bathroom, and it is most likely due to mold or mildew. If it is mold, you should get that fixed right away. With mildew, you can simply make sure that you create an environment where the bathroom is less humid.

Using an exhaust fan during showers can help to reduce the moisture (and the odors associated with it) in the bathroom.

Use a Diffuser

If you always want your house to smell good, not just smell bad, then you should start using a diffuser with scented oils. Check out this website with floral diffusers to get started.
