To get rid of this nuisance, you can pour 1 teaspoon of peppermint oil directly into the sewer pipe, and after some time, turn on hot water. This will help remove the foul odor and determine where the problem is (leak or blockage).Burnt dishesUnfortunately, the smell of burning spreads throughout the house quite quickly and is absorbed by all objects. Therefore, you need to act quickly. First, you need to open the windows and the front door to ensure an influx of fresh air. If you have an air conditioner in your apartment, then set it to the maximum ventilation mode. Clothes that have managed to smell of smoke should be immediately sent to the wash. Also pour water into a saucepan, boil and add cloves, mint, lemon balm. The steam that will evaporate will neutralize the unpleasant smell of burning. If something has burned in a saucepan, take vinegar and water, mix them and bring the mixture to a boil over low heat. Leave it like this and in a couple of hours the aromatic impurities will eliminate all the bad smells. Pets If the cause of the unpleasant smell is your pets, then this is quite easy to fix. For example, you can clean the carpet with soda. Just sprinkle the carpet with soda, leave for 15-20 minutes, and then vacuum. Wet puddles from the carpet can be absorbed with newspaper and paper towels, rinse with clean water and blot again with paper towels. There will be no trace of the smell. If your pet could not resist and left a more unpleasant surprise on your carpet, then you need to act with the same napkins, rinse the dirty spot with water with a small amount of cleaning agents, dry again with paper towels and sprinkle with ground black pepper. Pepper will cope with unpleasant odors perfectly. After some time, the carpet can be vacuumed. Do it yourself To improve the smell in the apartment, it is not necessary to run for expensive diffusers or scented candles. It is better to go to the kitchen and cook something aromatic. Apple-lemon pie, ginger cookies or brew tea with aromatic herbs and cinnamon.
