The appearance of an unpleasant smell in the house is a serious problem that cannot be ignored.

The task of the apartment residents is to find the source or cause of the stench.

The vast majority of people only check the trash can.

But this is the wrong approach. Many other places need to be checked.

After all, the source of an unpleasant smell in an apartment is not always the trash can.

So, what objects should be checked when a bad smell appears in the house?

Bin

It is worth starting the search for the stench with this container: perhaps there was something strong smelling there. Be sure to throw out the trash.

But be prepared for the fact that it is not about the trash can at all.

Ventilation

It often becomes the cause of a stench in the apartment, reports TUT NOVOSTI .

It is very easy to check the ventilation. Open the windows and doors, take a piece of paper and bring it to the ventilation.

The paper does not "move"? Then it is possible that the problem is a blockage.

Laundry basket

Many people forget about the potential source of stench: the laundry basket.

Perhaps the items have needed washing for a long time, and the container itself needs to be washed.

New furniture

There is also an unexpected option: it is possible that the pungent smell appeared due to recently purchased furniture.

It is possible that hazardous components were used in the production of these items.

If the stench persists even a month after purchasing the furniture, then this is a clear cause for concern.

Bedding

The sheet, pillowcase and duvet cover can also smell bad. Don't forget to change and wash these items on time.
