The power of scent can work in a negative way as well as a positive way: you may be put into a bad mood if you notice bad smells around your home, especially if you simply do not have the time to do a deep clean.(2)
If you are stretched for time, there are a few simple cleaning tips to help ensure you are enjoying a true home scent experience, rather than just masking odors. This can be as easy as:
Opening a window
Fresh air is one of the best and most natural ways to get rid of bad smells, as the smells can drift out of the open windows and be replaced with clean air.
Clean laundry
Ensuring laundry and bedding are kept clean will help you avoid musty odors.
Avoid musky smells.
Keeping your kitchen and bathroom drains and sinks clean (with a baking soda and white vinegar combination, for example(3)) will avoid musky smells.
