An unpleasant smell in an apartment or house does not form in one day. If you do not devote time to cleaning, airing and personal hygiene, then the problem cannot be avoided.

To prevent guests from turning up their noses when they drop in for a cup of tea, try this method, which will work even better than airing out the room.

How to proceed

First, determine the cause. It could be dirty dishes, a trash can, dust on the floor, or unsanitary conditions in the bathroom.

Secondly, do not use air fresheners. When combined with the smell that has settled in the house, they can create a completely suffocating stench.

Third, use available means for camouflage.

So, first you need to open the windows, wet a towel with vinegar and wipe all surfaces except those that are afraid of contact with acid.

The smell of vinegar will evaporate very quickly, and along with it the unpleasant aroma.

After this, you can place saucers with ground coffee and cinnamon in the rooms, which will work longer and better than any artificial air freshener.

You can also use activated carbon, which is crushed and then scattered in different corners of the apartment - it absorbs odors well.

But if the house hasn’t been cleaned for a long time, then life hacks are unlikely to help.
