Haus Maids Cranleigh: How to Remove Bad Smells in the House
Lingering odours can really cramp your style. Whether it’s a new problem or you’ve been dealing with bad smells since you can remember, we know how frustrating it can be.
That’s why our house cleaners in Cranleigh are here to offer tips on how to remove bad smells in the house. Give these ideas a try…
Deep clean your carpets
Carpets can harbour a lot of bacteria and dirt, adding to the lingering odours around your home. So, one of your first actions should be to deep clean your carpets. And don’t forget your rugs, too!
We recommend getting a professional cleaner in to do a proper deep clean. After this or in the meantime, however, you can keep your floors fresh by sprinkling baking soda over them and vacuuming it up after about 15 minutes.
Flush out your drains
Considering all the food and liquids we send down our drains, it’s no wonder they can end up smelling bad. To keep unpleasant odours at bay, follow these steps every couple of weeks:
- Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain
- Pour a cup of white vinegar down after it
- Leave for 30 minutes
- Flush through with hot water to clear
Increase the ventilation
Sometimes, something as simple as opening a window can make a big difference to how a room smells.
Fresh air can help prevent mildew by reducing humidity. Turning on fans to move air around can also stop smells from stagnating. Using an air purifier or dehumidifier in moist spaces can also help keep things dry and fresh.
Freshen up your bins
You regularly take your rubbish out. But do you clean the bins that hold it?
Our daily waste can leave behind bad-smelling liquids and attract pests that add to the bad smells in your home. With that in mind, make sure you’re washing your bins at least once a week — ideally every time you take the rubbish out. Clean them with baking soda and vinegar to remove rather than disguise the source of bad smells. Make sure you leave them to dry completely before adding a new bin liner.
