And after that, based on the cause, you need to get rid of the smell. For example, if the smell comes from the sewer, you need to use chemical solvents so that they clean the pipes from waste pipes.

If the cause is dampness (with mold), then you can mix vinegar and soda with water and apply it to the moldy area with a sponge; activated carbon also helps with dampness.

For example, to get rid of the smell of tobacco, you need to add a couple of drops of ammonia to the water before washing the floors; you can buy a special product.

You can use tea bags, they absorb odors very well. You can also use orange and tangerine peels. You can burn bay leaves in an ashtray and walk around the room with them.

To remove the smell of cat urine, you can buy a special spray at the veterinary store that gets rid of the smell, when washing the place, you can use a mixture of soda and liquid soap. You can mix lemon (you can use vinegar instead of lemon), hydrogen peroxide and soda.

For prevention, you should regularly ventilate the windows, clean your pet's litter box, not smoke in the apartment, get rid of unsuitable food, clean regularly, use an air freshener, and also ventilate and clean the bathrooms. You can also hire cleaners from cleaning companies.
