Sometimes your home smells off, and you can't figure out why. Here are six mistakes that make your home smell bad.
Leaving wet towels, bathmats, or damp clothes creates a musty smell inside the house. Therefore, always dry them in the sunlight before hanging them inside.
Kitchen and bathroom drains collect dirt that starts smelling over time. Pour hot water with baking soda and vinegar once a week to make the area smell fresh.
Cushions, curtains, rugs and sofas trap smells the fastest. If you don't air them out or vacuum them weekly, they hold odor. A quick sun-drying every few weeks works wonders.
Old leftovers and expired items release odor that makes your fridge smell bad. Wipe the shelves weekly and keep a bowl of baking soda, as it absorbs smells naturally.
Using too many room fresheners creates a heavy smell that mixes with the existing odor and makes the space smelly. Instead, clean surfaces or use essential oil diffusers.
