An unpleasant smell in an apartment can develop even during a long absence of the owners, for example, on vacation.
This will be an unpleasant smell, and not the one that is established due to the habits of the inhabitants of the home and the physical characteristics of each person. Let's figure out how to solve this problem.
Before you buy a new air freshener, think about what caused the unpleasant odor.
Reasons
There may be several reasons, like pets or smoking. But it is understandable.
Among the less obvious reasons, there may be constant dampness, and not only in the bathroom, old furniture, dirty shoes and clothes, ingrained odors in the kitchen, expired food products, and also ventilation and sewerage.
How to fight
You need to start by identifying and eliminating the source of the stench.
Further - it is easier. In some cases it will be enough to do a cleaning, and in others it may come to repairs with updating the interior.
If the reason is pets, then it will not be enough to remove waste products and wash the trays. You will have to buy a special shampoo and wash the pets.
It is also not enough to throw out spoiled food from the refrigerator. You will have to defrost it and wash the chambers.
In the wardrobe, you should wash all dirty items and those that have never been used.
Wet terry towels, placed in different corners of the room, help to deal with the smell of tobacco.
With dampness and mold, everything is complicated. Ventilation alone will not solve the problem. It may be necessary to look for malfunctions in the ventilation and treat the walls from pathogens.
Only after this can you place fragrances – artificial or natural – to freshen the air.
