Throw garbage more often
Especially in hot times, the bin is a source of bad smell in the house. In the heat, food decomposes faster and more intensively, being a source of bad smell in the house. Throwing out the garbage, we wash the bin with detergents. At the bottom of the bucket we put a cotton ball on which you can drip a few drops of lavender aromatic oil or any citrus oil, so you can get rid of not only the unpleasant smell, but also refresh the space where the trash can is.
Refresh the fridge
You must monitor the freshness of the food in the refrigerator. We carry out wet cleaning in it by dropping a couple of drops of lavender oil or lemon into the water. You can put a saucer in the refrigerator with a little ground coffee. Also an excellent sorbent of unpleasant odors is regular activated carbon. Change a couple of tablets of activated carbon every 3 days and there will be no unpleasant smell.
Refresh the microwave
When you open the door of the microwave oven, you often feel the old smell of food and dishes in it, and there are splashes and leftovers on the walls. You can get rid of this source of unpleasant odor and clean the microwave in 5 minutes. Pour water into a small container with the addition of a few drops of lavender essential oil or peppermint, and set for 3 minutes. Evaporating water softens all food debris and removing them from the walls is not difficult, and essential oils relieve unpleasant odors.
We refresh the air in the apartment with a vacuum cleaner
First of all, we wash and clean the vacuum cleaner itself, because the source of the unpleasant smell in the house during use is the vacuum cleaner itself, which spreads a musty smell. After cleaning the vacuum cleaner, take a cotton ball, on which we drip a few drops of essential oil of grapefruit, lemon or lavender. We put this ball in the vacuum cleaner itself, in the garbage bag, or you can drip a few drops of aromatic oil on the air filter of the vacuum cleaner, which usually looks like a sponge. Choose any aroma to your taste and the room will be filled with a pleasant aroma.
