How to Eliminate Odors in your Home
Posted on February 10, 2020
There is nothing worse than when there is a bad odor in a room that you just can’t seem to get rid of. Whether it be from smoke, pets, or mildew, we all want to get the nasty odors out and have a fresh smelling room. So, what can we do to get rid of those unpleasant odors? There is a such thing as odor absorbing paint. However, similar to using air fresheners or candles, it’s a short-term solution not a long-term solution. You need to take care of the problem first rather than just masking it. After you have done that you can apply the paint as part of the solution. Keep reading for tips on how to get rid of unwanted odors in your home and be left with a fresh smelling home!
Carpet Cleaning
Mattress Cleaning
After a while your mattress may smell musty. You can refresh your mattress by sprinkling baking soda on it, letting it sit and then vacuuming it up. You can do this with pet beds as well.
Clean your closets
It is important not to close your closet doors because that will trap whatever the odor is.
Washing the walls with a cleaning solution
Place dehumidifiers in whatever areas smell badly.
Take care of any mildew or mold in the home
White vinegar is known for getting nasty odors out. Try leaving a bowl of it in the room.
If there is a fridge in this area, make sure it is being regularly cleaned out
Clean the furniture
If the smell is still lingering after you complete the steps above, call a professional odor removal service before going in with paint.
If you have taken these steps and the odor is gone it is now safe to go in with odor absorbing paint. The paint works by covering and absorbing odor which creates fresh air quality. The paint contains anti-microbial agents which stunt the growth of mildew and other bacterial odors. The more of the area you paint, the greater result you will see.
