Combating Odors

 

No matter how clean your house is, everyone ends up with odors from time to time. I have some easy fighters that should freshen your air in no time.

A really easy way to fight household odors is to have plants in each room. They combat airborne pollutants and they release oxygen back into your house.

Another easy way to fight airborne odors is simply to light a match. It will burn off the smell in no time. While you have that match, why not light a couple of scented candles to spread pleasant scents throughout your room.

Each time you change the bag in your garbage can, sprinkle in a half of a cup of borax. It will keep odors to a minimum and it helps repel insects

If you burned some food in the kitchen, leave a dish of lemon juice, vinegar or baking soda on the counter overnight. These items will absorb the burned odor.

For closed up closets and drawers that don't get a lot of circulation, put an unwrapped bar of soap inside. It will keep the area nice and fresh.
