If you don't flush your toilet often, better do it a lot often than usual. Besides, you would want to have it cleaned often.

 

Clean Washing Machine

Your washing machine is used many times throughout the week so better clean everything as it will surely get dirty a lot. From the lid up to the plug, better make sure it is regularly cleaned. Not only will you eliminate the smell, but it is also going to last a lot longer than you originally thought. 

After all, using a washing machine would be more convenient than washing your clothes manually. What must be done is to clean your washing machine at the same time as cleaning all your other appliances.

 

Put Baking Soda in Trash Can

The longer the trash can gets used, the more it would smell. Thus, better clean it up by putting baking soda in it so that you would not deal with foul odor stemming from it.

Refresh Carpets

Carpets get stepped with shoes on and you never know where you stepped on. In addition, pets pee on them at times when you don't mind what they are doing. Hence, better refresh the carpets with baking soda then let it dry for a couple of days before using it again. Even if some carpets are not that used much, better refresh it pretty often. It is best to dry the carpets when the sun is out rather than put it in front of an electric fan to dry fast.

 

Clean Kitchen Drain Often

We all know this place gets dirty pretty often because of how some leftover food gets there when dishes are washed. It can be the victim of a blocked drain if the dirt piles up in there. One way I do this chore would be to put citrus rinds as the smell would be so heavenly. After that, I put a lot of hot water on everyone to feel pretty satisfied.

 

Add Air Fresheners to Air Vents

Bake Cookies

This method is accomplishing two things at once. Not only will you bake some delicious sweets, but you will also make your house smell a lot better. You're going to make it taste like heaven and everyone is going to get hungry once the smell of cookies fills the place. It would even depend on the cookie flavor that you are baking. 

If it is white chocolate or peanut butter, there is no doubt it is going to smell a lot better. Don't forget to not eat too much though as that would raise your blood sugar levels. You will end up working out a lot just to balance the number of calories that you ate.

Also, it is a great answer to the question of how to make your room smell good. Yes, the candles can be put in your room's bathroom and you may even forget at one point that the candles are there.

 

Use a Pet Deodorizer

When they smell great, that is a good start in preventing them from making the house stinky. Be sure to use all-natural ingredients so your pets won't suffer from any rashes on their skin. 

That would make you go back to the drawing board and think of another strategy to take out the bad smell. When you have pets, you must realize you can't make them take a bath each day as they are not like humans.

 

Simmer Herbs on the Stove

This is a great strategy I used to try when I had a lot of fruits and herbs stock. These things help a lot while they are not being used. Just use the best ones for your purpose and make sure that you use the right ones.
