  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

What is the best way to get a fresh smelling house?

Open the windows won't do the job itself.
You will need to open the windows and turn on the air-condition to recycle the air.

Also buy some bicarb soda and place it around your home for a couple or days to absorb odor. Can also put in fridge.
 
I just thought: You do wash and replace your air filters periodically?

Also, smell the air vents all over the house for a point of entry. A dead rodent or other animal will putrify the house. If you notice a stench coming from a wall vent or seemingly from under the floor boards, you may need to ask your local shire council for help to rectify the problem. They would likely have a public health officer to either organise help or advise how to resolve such problems.

We had a mouse invasion a number of years back when the council decided to do some earth works between my house and the beach. I had so many mice to cope with - uggghhh!

One climbed behind the oven and was electrified. I actually thought the stench was coming from the earth works - I don't remember why I thought that, but it seemed possible and logical at the time. It took a while for me to work out where the smell was coming from and I ended up having to ask a neighbour for help to pull the oven from the wall cavity and there was a mouse - blue/green! Problem almost solved. Lastly I put mouse baits into the roof and basins of water outside to attract the poisoned mice (they go straight to water after eating poisons). No more smells.
 
Artificial air fresheners give me a headache.

Buy a negative ion generator (something like this) and leave it on while you're at work, then when you get home put a few drops of pine or cedarwood essential oil in a vapourizer.
 
A tip 4 the fridge 2 get it very fresh is to place some vanilla essence in it....works a treat
 
Place an open box of baking soda in the fridge; cut and throw a lemon down the garbage disposal (as it is grinding away, it smells amazing); spray your air filters on the furnace with febreeze; dryer sheets placed like napkins.

If you have carpets, these often times can be the culprit for stale or stuffy odors. They are also very hard to get out although white vinegar in the cleaning solution can help kill some odors (or oxyclean). Drains and the fridge are often the next two spots to attack.
 
Bake a pie or some cookies and that should make the place smell nice.

Also set the oven on low and put some vanilla is a heat proof container and warm it up with the oven door partially open.

Also pour some baking soda into the garbage can liner it will eliminate more odors from forming.
 
I found the best way to get a fresh smelling house, is to burn the fatty offal of my sin sacrifice in my fireplace, as the Old Testament in the bible tells me so. It smells wonderfully of bacon and smoked sausage. If I have spare foreskins to burn to the god Jehobah it smells of bacon and cheese. Ahhhhh..... such sweetness.

The idea of washing the walls is best done with sugar soap. If the odour lingers, you can buy paint that helps to remove odours. Perhaps you can cook and feed some friends in return for them painting the apartment for you?

L'occitane make a small range of air scents that are not sprayed but poured into a small bowl or bottle with pine sticks to wick the liquid up and into the air. My favourite now is the Fig Leaf one. It smells like freshly cut wood, and ends on a very ripe fig note. Not offensive, not girly, covers even salmon cooking! It's a winner for me.

The baking powder works in confined areas, and some supermarkets also sell something similar to remove odours and moisture in the air from cupboards and fridges. One in Australia is sold as Hippo something or other, from memory.

I have heard the vinegar in a bowl works well. Also, dribbling vanilla essence generously onto a loaf of bread and warming it seriously in the oven will fill the house with fragrance that is unlikely to smell like anything other than fresh baking - yummy! You can do the same by sticking oranges with lots of cloves and then rolling the finished ball in mixed spice and leaving around the apartment or hanging from raffia or ribbon to let the air circulate. They can be refreshed with vodka sprinkled over it, and or a little orange oil. I used to love this, but the sticking of cloves must be done with determination - fucking boring and sore thumbs after the first hundred. Get a loving friend or relative to help. ;) (The oranges are fantastic in the festive season, and also are great by the hearth or stove, if you have one. The scent of oranges is also great for helping to develop an appetite in ill folk.)

Good ideas. I like to put a small pot of water on the stove, throw in a cinnamon stick and vanilla extract, then let it slowly simmer. Makes the house smell great.
 
keep it as clean as you can, clean it very often, open the windows, buy air freshners
 
I also would recommend vanilla over the rancid and cloying 'air freheners' like Glade plug-ins etc.

Oh by the way,

If you have dogs, get them shaved.

My God, does anything stink worse than dog?

But I think you are talking about cooking odours and this is the reason why we will not:

-cook liver
-deep fry anything
-fry fish even in a frying pan in the winter,

I loathe the leftover smells of fried food.

Another thing I forgot to mention was burning candles. Not the horrible scented ones...but just plain candles...when you are cooking anything with smoke.
 
in the auto dept. of a store. I can't remember the name of the product. It comes in a small can, you take off the top and it has like a shaker lid. It absorbs the odor. My cousins car smelled like an ashtray she smoked so much. We put one of those in her car, and within 2 days, all odor was gone. Baking soda does the samething, but not as well.
 
In the summer months, My swamp cooler is in a window so easy to get to. I add about 1/4 c. every week of fabric softner. Keeps the house smelling fresh and clean. (and it comes in a variety of scents too.
 
If you have a basement, the cause of a smelly house could likely be there. Air rises and comes from air ducts, carrying odors with it.

Many of the ideas here are just temporarily hiding the odor, but not actually solving the real problem.
 
You go to the Wal-Mart and buy those little buck sprayers of Glade apple cinnamon. Back at the house you shove 3 or 4 into the microwave set it on high 5 minutes and get the hell out of house. when you hear a Ka-boom you can go back in and things smell nice. There will be a little dust to clean off things but not to bad.

Ugh, yes! A dirty cat box smells worse! I make sure my laundry house only uses all natural, non-scented, stuff. None of the laundry soap has phosphates or chlorine bleach. It's an all natural, vegetable based soap. They're awesome, and they don't use nasty chemicals for the dry cleaning either. The use a scentless O3 system. Nothing smells worse than fake frangerances trying to cover a nasty smell. It's like, oh joy, now it smells like dirty feet and roses! Blech!
