The first step in ensuring an always smelling home is to clean up. There is no point in spreading flavorings around the house if it is dirty and messy. And if possible, clean the house daily! Start by opening the windows every day, as long as possible, to make the air circulate, thus leaving the house fresh and odor free. On sunny days let the light in to get rid of the humidity and remove the musty smell. If you have bigger doors or balcony doors, leave them open for a while.

If you have pets, taking care of odors and cleaning should be doubled. There are specific cleaning products for the areas where your pet circulates and that neutralize the strong smells characteristic of animals. Regularly wash your pet’s blankets, beds and toys, as they are also impregnated with odors and spread throughout the house. For dogs and cats, use the vacuum cleaner to remove floor hair, carpets, sofas and beds. Sodium bicarbonate is a very versatile product for cleaning the house and also to neutralize strong odors in several rooms. Check out some tips on how to use this and other homemade products to get strong smells out of the house:
Put a little baking soda at the bottom of the bins, it absorbs the strong odors left by the accumulation of waste. In the absence of baking soda, add a little coffee grounds, the result will be just as good. Use citrus peels like lemon and orange to get strong smells out of the kitchen. Put the peels to a boil with a little water and soon the stench will go away. You can also add cloves and cinnamon to the boil, your kitchen will have a wonderful aroma. If there are smokers in the house, try to clean the lamps with a damp cloth frequently, as cigarette smoke adheres to the glass and the heat from the lamp exhales the stench.
Charcoal is also very effective in neutralizing strong smells, if your house is very humid and has little sun, use it frequently. Remove the odor of shoes with tea bags, just put a bag inside each shoe so that it absorbs moisture and leaves the shoes with a pleasant smell. If you have cats, try putting some toasted tea in the litter box to neutralize odors, you will be surprised by the result. Baking soda is also excellent for neutralizing strong odors in the refrigerator. Always have a pot or sachet perforated with baking soda inside to avoid strong smells. Vinegar and lemon are powerful for removing strong smells from the kitchen. If you messed with eggs or fish and the kitchen got that characteristic odor that doesn’t come out, clean the utensils, countertops and the sink with vinegar or lemon juice. Vinegar can be boiled with a little water as well. Following these tips your house will always be clean and smelling, you will quickly notice the difference.
