How to get rid of the unpleasant smell of old age in your home: an effective trick
If people live in an apartment for a long time, but do not make repairs, do not monitor the condition of the housing and rarely ventilate the premises, then eventually an unpleasant musty smell may appear, which is also called the smell of "old age".
There are several ways to refresh your home and make it more comfortable to live in.
First of all, you need to throw out all the trash and garbage. All textiles should be washed, and carpets should be removed or dry-cleaned. Upholstered furniture should be aired in the fresh air, and cabinets should be washed.
Ventilate the apartment itself as much as possible by creating a draft for a couple of days.
If possible, it is advisable to re-glue the wallpaper, since this material also absorbs odors.
You also need to do some wet cleaning. Surfaces should be washed with a mixture of water and vinegar, which also fights odors.
It would not be superfluous after a general cleaning to hang damp sheets on the doors and cabinet doors, in some corners you can put activated carbon. In addition, coffee beans and citrus peels will help.
Some plants will also help to clean the air. Ficus, aloe, indoor ivy, and chlorophytum are especially effective.
