How To Make Your Home Smell Good

Clean Soft Materials

Carpets, throw cushions, furniture, bedsheets, and window coverings attract smells. Even after a spill has dried and the residue has been swept away, odor-causing germs can remain. An overlooked stain on a carpet might lead to mold growth. Once a year, get your upholstery and carpets steam cleaned by a professional. Check the material care labels on decorative pillows, linens, and window coverings to see whether they can be machine cleaned.

But keep in mind that specific tasks should be left to the professionals to ensure that it is done correctly. The most straightforward technique to avoid odors in a carpet is to clean up any spills as soon as they occur. Biological stains, such as those caused by a pet or a child, should be handled with an enzyme cleaner, which helps break down bio messes faster.

While carpet washing can help, regular maintenance is the most effective approach to keep carpet odors at bay. Sprinkle baking powder on the area, let it sit for the next few hours, and vacuum. The more you vacuum and spot-treat your carpets, the less smelly they will become.
