How to get rid of the smell in the ventilation: the best options to block the unpleasant smell from the neighbors

Oil burner

Will help in solving the problem of aroma lamp. It can be purchased at a hardware store. The lamp is a container for water and fixtures for a small candle.

1. Ventilate the room before using the device. When airing is complete, close all windows.
2. Prepare an aroma lamp.Pour a small amount of water into a special container of the device, add a few drops of any aromatic oil. In order for the aroma to be more saturated, it is better to take ordinary salt instead of water.
3. Place a burning candle under the container. After a few minutes, the water with essential oils will begin to slowly evaporate, filling the room with a delicate aroma. Water can be added to the bowl in small portions.

After the procedure, put out the candle, pour out the water and wash the container with soap well so that not a drop of essential oil remains in it. Aromatherapy treatment will improve your mood and get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke.

Causes of poor ventilation

The reasons why the ventilation system malfunctions, in fact, are not so many. And most importantly, most of them can be solved with small material and labor costs.

In addition to the main ventilation, additional channels can be arranged

• One of the main reasons, today, why there was a smell from the ventilation in a residential building is a violation of natural air exchange. This happens because of the installed metal-plastic windows that do not let air in from the street.
• Pollution of the ventilation duct with soot, fatty deposits, the remains of the life of birds, construction waste.
• Violation by one of the neighbors of the ventilation duct.
• In winter, snow can clog into the ventilation duct, and due to the temperature difference, it begins to melt and freeze again, forming ice.
• An overly powerful hood in the kitchen can absorb not only the fumes and smells of cooking food, but also interrupt the natural “leaving” of carbon dioxide-saturated air from the ventilation openings in the sanitary rooms.The kitchen hood does not release it, and even tries to suck in the smell from the ventilation from the neighbors, forming a reverse draft.
• For residents of the upper floors, a short (less than 6 meters) ventilation pipe can be a problem with ventilation. Its height does not allow the exhaust air to be “squeezed out” from the entire riser, and it finds a shorter path through the ventilation duct to those living on the last floor.

Possible causes of problems

If you find that the ventilation system really does not want to fulfill its duties, then you need to figure out what exactly caused its rebellion. One of the most common causes of backdraft is blockage. If the ventilation duct is clogged with foreign bodies, then the air simply cannot pass through it in the required volume. This is where the effect comes from. The main source of blockage can be:

• dirt, dust, cobwebs. If the house is old, and ventilation cleaning work is carried out infrequently, then everything that is drawn out of the apartments along with air forms a rather thick layer on the walls of the channel. Gradually, its permeability decreases. This cannot be called a full-fledged blockage, but this state of affairs significantly impairs air exchange. Designers of ventilation systems know how important the cross section of the duct is. And in this situation, it decreases, which leads to negative consequences,
• bird nests. Birds are very fond of building their homes on pipes that go to the roof. This is not surprising, because in this way they receive natural heating of the nest due to the warm air that comes from the apartments.At the end of the breeding season, having taught the chicks to fly, feathered parents often leave their architectural work, leaving it to its fate. Fate, in the form of a strong wind and stray cats, often makes it so that this whole bunch of branches and fluff is inside the pipe. Several of these nests, flavored with the same dirt, and sometimes the bodies of dead birds - and now you already get a full-fledged plug in the ventilation duct,
• household waste. This is perhaps the saddest aspect, because it leads not only to clogged channels, but also to conclusions about the upbringing of some people. Sometimes romantics walking on the roofs mistake the pipes that go out onto it for a kind of garbage chute. Of course, they do not think about the consequences.

Any of these reasons can significantly impair the patency of the ventilation duct, and even their combination forms a plug, through which it is almost impossible for air to break through.

Another reason for the occurrence of reverse thrust is too little fresh air entering the apartment. If earlier it could constantly seep through wooden frames, now, in the era of sealed plastic double-glazed windows, natural air exchange has practically no chance.

At the beginning of the article, it was already described how the normal process of changing air masses occurs. From this it becomes clear: if there is no intake of fresh air, then there will be no outflow of the old. And that means hello, reverse thrust.

And last but not least, the reason for its occurrence is the usual human factor. If a mistake was made when designing the ventilation system, then you will not see normal air exchange.However, we will not dwell on this, since you will not be able to diagnose or correct such a situation on your own. To do this, you need to contact the experts. And this is done, as a rule, after all other reasons have been recognized as non-existent in this case.

Why is there an unpleasant smell in the pantry?

First of all, you need to check the shoes, the characteristic smell of which often occurs when worn for a long time in conditions of high humidity. If there is no ventilation in the pantry, the air stagnates and various aromas appear. The matter is aggravated by wet clothes or underwear that is not completely dry.

In addition to odors, there is the possibility of mold and fungus developing, affecting racks and walls. Also, the bouquet of aromas is mixed with washing powder or conditioner after washing, new fabrics and the smell absorbed by clothes in different rooms - tobacco, pastries, overcooked butter and much more.

It is worth placing only one thing in the pantry without the circulation of air masses, and soon this smell will spread to all things.

Pets, insects, or parasites that leave marks or excrement are likely to enter. Even small secretions in a cramped pantry can cause unpleasant odors. If there is a pet in the house, the pantry is examined for its toilet or marks especially carefully, as they tend to be curious and mark the territory.

Mice are often found in pantries, rodents are small and have a characteristic smell. They do not always get out of the closet, and its body, when decomposed, spreads a disgusting stench.

Even a closet with clothes can contain a source of unpleasant odor in the form of stains from spray, oils or paint, uncleaned smudges from cleaning chemicals. Tablets and sections from moths on one of the cabinet shelves penetrate through the cracks and porous material, in which case the whole structure and things inside smell.

In most cases, apartment owners put a broom, vacuum cleaner, mops or tools in the pantry. The particles of water or dirt remaining on them accumulate and begin to smell unpleasant.

Incorrect installation of the sewerage system

If initially the sewer pipes are not installed correctly, then unpleasant odors will not take long. To get rid of them, you will have to install a new pipe, because of which homeowners will undergo severe inconvenience and financial costs. But things will be even worse when it turns out that the cause of the smell is the wrong slope of the pipes, which does not meet established standards. Therefore, everything that drains from the toilet does not move through the pipes as it should, but gets stuck in the sewer system, causing an unbearable smell in the toilet from the sewer. The only way out of this situation is to completely reinstall the pipes.

It also happens that the pipes are not tightly connected to each other. Coping with this problem is much easier than with the previous two: sealing cuffs are mounted on plastic pipe joints, and in the case of cast-iron pipes, the joints must be re-minted.

It is not recommended to independently troubleshoot problems due to poor installation of the sewerage system, since only a plumber who knows his business can successfully cope with such a complex job. Moreover, this is fraught with new negative consequences, where an unbearable smell may seem like “flowers” ​​compared to possible “berries”.

When installing sewer pipes, pay attention to the degree of slope

Malfunctions in the functioning of the water seal

An unpleasant odor can also occur due to problems with the siphon or water seal. The device is a curved pipe that is filled with water. It is under the plumbing fixture. The liquid in the siphon prevents the two spheres of gas from mixing, so that the smell from the toilet does not penetrate to the outside. But if the device malfunctions, the air passes from the sewers without any obstacles.

Recommended reading: Drawing up a sewer flushing act

The functioning of the siphon may be impaired for the following reasons:

• due to the increased pressure in the pipes located behind the water seal (then, along with the smell, liquid with bubbles will appear in the toilet);
• due to the fullness of the entire space of the sewer, due to which its contents fall into the siphon and cause an unpleasant odor.

If the sewer becomes clogged. the siphon will fill with sewage. In this case, the only way that can help is to clean the pipeline itself with a cable specially designed for this purpose.

When pipes pass through chilled areas, icing and blockage can occur in these places in winter.Then a few buckets of hot water poured into the toilet can help so that it melts the ice and the sewage can pass freely, and with it, the smell disappears.

It happens less often when the siphon fills up due to such a small diameter of the pipes that the waste liquids cannot pass further. Then the homeowners will only have to change the pipes.

A clogged water seal also causes odor to leak out of the toilet. Fats, debris and hair settle there, breeding bacteria and spreading stench. Such a reason, which does not require special skills and abilities, can be eliminated independently. For this purpose, a special device is made, the so-called “doll”: a bag is sewn from dense fabric that can pass into the toilet, filled with sand and tightly tied with a rope from above. The finished “doll”, holding the rope, is lowered into the toilet and water is poured into it several times. It is desirable that the doll goes into the depth of the toilet bowl as far as possible. With the help of water pressure, it will clean the siphon well. At the end, they simply pull it out with a rope and throw it away. The water seal is now clean.

Another reason why the toilet smells like sewer is if the toilet has not been used for a long period of time. In this case, the water in the siphon dries up and the blockage of air from the sewerage system is canceled, as a result of which a stench appears in the apartment.

Checking the water seal in the sewer

Pipe leaks

If the pipes start to leak, then this can also cause an unpleasant odor. Sometimes it can be very difficult to notice this, since the traces of leakage are almost invisible. To conduct a quality inspection, all pipes are checked using a flashlight

Particular attention should be paid to the places of their joints. To prevent this problem from occurring:

install only high quality pipes in your apartment;
carry out waterproofing in the toilet room;
when installing the pipeline, pay attention to the number of joints: they should be as few as possible;
It is not recommended to install communications in hard-to-reach places.

How to recognize incorrect ventilation

According to the norms, in an apartment building, each room must be equipped with a ventilation shaft - this is a special facility for suction and discharge of air from the premises.

Inoperative ventilation can be recognized by the following signs:

• there is no inflow of fresh air into the apartment;
• smells from neighbors;
• mold is formed;
• clothes do not dry.

You can understand that ventilation does not work or works partially if the windows in the apartment constantly fog up.

To test the ventilation for performance with a small (10x10 cm) piece of toilet paper, you need to slightly open the window in one of the rooms and bring the prepared piece of paper to the ventilation grill. Several options are possible:

1. The sheet is attracted - ventilation is working properly.
2. The sheet is not fixed on the grate or falls - the ventilation does not cope with its task.
3. The leaf is deflected - the ventilation does not work, and due to the reverse draft, you breathe an unpleasant smell from the neighbors.

Anemometer - a device that shows the speed of air movement in ventilation. The values ​​obtained are compared with the table, and the figure means the volume of air passing through the ventilation of an apartment building per hour.

natural ventilation

Trouble arises in the "realm" of naturally ventilated plastic

Apartment buildings that were built before and are being built now are equipped with natural ventilation. Fresh air enters the premises, passing through the natural cracks of windows, doors, and leaves the premises through ventilation openings in the sanitary and bathroom, kitchen. This is how it should be if it works properly.

But, unfortunately, for a number of reasons, ventilation ceases to function, air exchange is disturbed. In order to understand why a non-smoking apartment starts to smell like cigarettes, you need to know what types of ventilation exist.

The intake of fresh air in a natural way and the same removal of exhaust air through the ventilation ducts is called natural ventilation. With its obvious advantage - simplicity, there are significant drawbacks:

• Works mainly in the cold season. Due to the fact that air exchange occurs from the difference in temperature and atmospheric pressure in the street and in the apartment. The larger it is, the more air enters the room, displacing the exhaust.
• Impossible to achieve constant air exchange.
• The air that enters from the street is not cleaned of harmful impurities.
• The incoming air is not noise filtered.
• Cooled air enters the room.

In the kitchen

The stench in the kitchen can appear for various reasons, and depending on them, methods of struggle are chosen:

1. If the source was an unsuccessful culinary masterpiece, for example, the smell of burning from a burnt pan, it is enough just to check the room well and clean the dishes from burning traces.
2. After cooking, an unpleasant “ombre” often remains.In this case, after all the preparations, you can put a few pieces of citrus peel on a hot burner - for a couple of minutes, or fry a handful of coffee beans in a pan.
3. Rotting food from the refrigerator can stink. Then all spoiled food must be immediately thrown into the trash can, the refrigerator thoroughly washed and a couple of pieces of rye bread left in the chamber. As an emergency measure, if the stench is very strong and stagnant, all the walls and shelves of the refrigerator are rubbed with ammonia. After that, the doors must be left open for several hours.
4. An unpleasant spirit often comes from the trash can. First of all, it must be emptied regularly at least once every 2 days, use special garbage bags, and wash the bucket itself once a week with bleach or other detergents.

Where does the smell in the apartment come from?

If you smell an unpleasant smell, you need to get rid of it immediately. Over time, it will worsen - even washing clothes, furniture, upholstery will not help. In especially neglected cases, only a change of wallpaper or a major overhaul can save. In order not to lead to this, the first step is to identify where it came from.

The source of the smell can be:

• damp cloth for the floor;
• unwashed shoes;
• mold;
• old ashtray;
• excrement and urine of animals;
• spoiled food.

In addition, filters of air conditioners, hoods, and ventilation openings can smell unpleasant. They should be checked for condition and, if necessary, cleaned or replaced.

If, upon entering the apartment, it seems that fish was recently fried in it, there may be problems with the electrical wiring. When ignited, the wires emit a fishy smell. It is necessary to inspect the light bulbs, switches, sockets. If gray or slightly swollen parts are noticeable, the parts must be urgently replaced. Otherwise, a fire may occur. Your best bet is to call an electrician.

Often, entering the house, tenants smell rotten eggs. This is a dangerous sign: it may indicate a gas leak. It is necessary to immediately call the gas service, leave the house, without lighting matches and without turning on the light.

If the smell of sewage haunts you, there is a reason to check the pipes and sinks. Perhaps a blockage or leak has formed, a water seal has broken, and the ventilation system spreads the smell throughout the house. Over time, the tenants of the apartment get used to the smell, ceasing to notice it. Their guests, on the other hand, immediately feel it when they enter the room.

Regular cleaning is the key to the absence of a bad smell in an apartment or house.

Another common cause of bad breath is the decaying corpse of a rodent or small animal. Residents of residential buildings face such a problem. The main thing is to find the source. You should check the traps in the attic, in the cavities of the walls, in the basement. Having found the cause of the stench, it must be removed, the place disinfected. This will remove bacteria and odor. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, you can call the pest control service.

Often the source of an unpleasant smell lies in the mold. It can form under skirting boards, upholstery, and in furniture. Mold loves places with high humidity. In large quantities, it can cause allergies. If the cause of the aroma is mold, you will have to treat the room.This can be done with bleach diluted in water, white vinegar, baking soda. The solution is applied for a couple of hours, then washed off with soapy water.

Ways to eliminate the smell of sewage in the apartment

Having figured out why the apartment smells like sewage, you can begin to solve the question of how to remove the smell. Consider how you can get rid of such a nuisance.

How to fix hidden leaks?

Leaky pipes and loose connections are one of the most common causes of odor. Therefore, if the bathroom smells like sewerage, then the first thing to do is to examine the pipes and the junctions of the pipeline with plumbing fixtures.

It must be said that finding a leak can be difficult, because sewer pipes, as a rule, are hidden. It is especially difficult to detect a leak in a pipe located in an interfloor overlap. After all, there may not be obvious signs in this case. To fix the leak, seal the leak or replace the damaged pipe.

If sewer pipes are being replaced, then as measures to prevent the occurrence of leaks, it is recommended:

• Assemble the sewer pipeline from high quality pipes and fittings.
• When installing the pipeline, try to use the minimum number of joints, since it is at the junction of two parts that leaks often occur.
• When sewerage is installed in the bathroom and in other rooms, care must be taken so that the pipe connections do not end up in places that are difficult to penetrate.
• Measures for high-quality waterproofing of walls and floors in the bathroom and in the kitchen are mandatory.

How to restore the work of water seals?

Each plumbing fixture is equipped with a siphon, in the knee of which there is a water plug - a water seal. It is this layer of water that serves as a reliable barrier to fetid gases. Therefore, if there is a sewer smell from the toilet or sink, it is logical to assume that the operation of the water seals is broken. Causes of water seal failures:

• If the pressure in the sewer system increases, then the air from the sewer pipe will be able to “break through” the water plug. This can happen in the form of a “volley”, when water splashes out of the drain with noise. But there is also an implicit breakdown, in this case, the gas penetrates into the apartment almost imperceptibly, in the form of small bubbles.
• If the drains can completely block the pipe section, an air vacuum is created in the system, which, like a pump, draws water out of the siphon. That is, when the water is drained, the water seal is completely removed and nothing else prevents the penetration of gases into the apartment.

Why can drains completely fill the pipe section? This is possible in three cases:

• When installing the sewage system, pipes were used that had a smaller cross section than provided for by building codes.
• When carrying out repairs to replace the sewer, the pipes were laid without observing the required slope. Since a sewer pump is rarely installed in an apartment, maintaining a slope of two centimeters per meter of pipe is mandatory, otherwise the drains will stagnate in the pipes.
• Pipes of normal section were installed, but during their operation the clearance for the passage of water decreased due to blockages or icing if the pipe passes through a cold attic.

In this case, we get rid of the smell of sewage from the toilet bowl or other plumbing fixtures by eliminating the cause of the narrowing of the pipe clearance. It is necessary to clean them, and when freezing, pour hot water, this removes ice plugs.

It happens that the smell of sewage from the shower cabin appears if the corrugated pipe through which the water leaves does not have a knee, that is, there is simply nowhere for a water plug to form. If this is the reason, then you should get to the corrugated pipe and bend it into the knee, fixing it in this position. If the siphon is damaged, then it must be replaced.

How to eliminate the smell caused by blockages?

Thinking about why the bathroom smells like sewage, one cannot exclude the possibility that a blockage has formed in the pipes. In this case, the only way out of the situation is to clean the pipes.

To avoid such situations, you need to use plumbing fixtures correctly. All family members should know that rags, newspapers and other rubbish should not be thrown into the sewer.

Folk remedies

Let's talk about how to remove the grave smell from the house with folk methods. What to do if he appeared? Folk methods include all food and home products that housewives use almost every day. In most cases, these are the same products that are used in other cases when it comes to bad smells that you would like to smell good.

Not a bad tool that absorbs moisture can be considered a combination of coal and salt. Recipe 2-3 packs of activated charcoal mixed with 100 grams of table salt. Charcoal can be ground to a powder to make it look aesthetically pleasing.Also, the coal may not necessarily be activated, but the usual one, which is prepared for the barbecue, is also suitable. The above mix can be placed in a beautiful vase or glass and used as a decorative element, while the chemical elements will do their job. The contents of the glass should be changed once a week.

You can also use a tool called pomanders. This is a combination of oranges and cloves. Instead of an orange, you can also take a lemon or grapefruit, stick cloves into the peel and you're done. Such "decoration" of the room can fulfill its purpose within 2 months. And with the help of such insignificant means, we get rid of unnecessary odors.

linen closet

Getting rid of musty in the closet is very simple. First you need to carefully wash all the clothes and put them back only after they are completely dry.

In order for the smell not to appear again, it is impossible to add something worn to clean things, even once for half an hour. Worn clothes that lie with a clean one for a long time will saturate the latter with different aromas, most likely unpleasant ones.

In addition, you can put sachets with clothes that are stored for a long time and rarely get it - this is a special flavor for linen. You can buy it at the store or make it yourself. To do this, a rag bag is sewn, the fabric must be natural - linen or cotton.

Spices (cinnamon or cloves), dried herbs (melissa, mint, rosemary), dry citrus peel, essential oils applied to cotton wool are suitable for the filler.

Molds

If there is a smell of dampness in the room, it means that mold is hiding somewhere. As a rule, it occurs in the bathroom, toilet or kitchen, as well as in places where there is water: for example, near a cat's water bowl. Fortunately, there are many effective folk recipes to help remove the cause of dampness:

• activated carbon - it not only perfectly absorbs, but also disinfects the air, it is enough to grind 20 tablets into powder and, putting them in containers, place them in places where dampness has appeared;
• vinegar and essential oils - add essential oils and 2 tablespoons of vinegar to a bucket of water (1 l), use the solution to clean floors and walls at least once a week;
• coffee - coffee beans help well against the smell of dampness, lay out piles of grains in the bathroom or bathroom for a week, and then replace them with new ones;
• rock salt - pour it into a glass, put it in a damp room and change as needed. This tool perfectly absorbs excess moisture.

It smells of damp where it is humid and warm, so it is these factors that must be dealt with. Do not dry towels in the bathroom for a long time. Rags with which you clean the apartment, wash and dry. Do not close the door of the washing machine if the wash is not in progress: let the excess moisture evaporate from it. Do not keep the doors in the bathroom and bathroom closed all the time, if they have windows, ventilate the rooms more often. Turn on a fan or air out the bathroom after every shower. If you follow these rules, high humidity will drop to normal levels and there will be no dampness.

Signs of malfunctioning or not working ventilation

According to existing building codes, each dwelling is equipped with ventilation, which serves to remove polluted air. In apartment buildings - ventilation is a vertical shaft through which air from the premises (kitchen, bath, toilet) is sucked off and thrown onto the roof. If the mine channel is clogged or littered, the ventilation does not work!

Signs that ventilation is not working:

• unpleasant odors are felt from neighbors or from the mine
• the smell remains for a long time in the toilet or after cooking
• clothes do not dry
• constant stale air
• fungus and mold develop
• misted window panes

Simple ways to find out the performance of ventilation

Take a piece of toilet paper (10cm x 10cm). Open a window in any of the rooms and hold this paper to the ventilation grill in the bathroom, kitchen or toilet. If the leaf is attracted, the ventilation works. If the sheet does not rest on the grate and falls, the ventilation does not work. If the sheet is not attracted, but rather deviates from the ventilation grill, it means that you have a reverse draft and you breathe foreign odors, which means that the ventilation does not work.

Also, the correct operation of ventilation will be shown by the flame of a candle brought to the ventilation grill. Ventilation can be measured with a special device - an anemometer, which shows how fast the air moves in the ventilation duct. Having a calculation table in hand, you can substitute the values ​​​​of the anemometer and the cross section of your ventilation grill into it and you will get a figure that will tell you how many cubic meters of air per hour (m3 / h) passes through the ventilation grill. Existing regulations:

• Kitchen with electric stove – 60 m3/h
• Kitchen with gas stove – 100 m3/h
• Relying on bathroom and toilet: 25 m3/h

Blockage removal

If the problem is a blockage in the ventilation duct, then your actions depend on where exactly the problem is located:

• from the side of the apartment. More precisely, in that part of the ventilation duct that you can reach from your home. To remove the blockage, you will need a metal brush. Cover everything under the vent with a cloth or newspaper so that you don't have to wash furniture or plumbing from dirt later. Then remove the grate that protects the entrance to the channel. If she has clearly outlived her own - throw it away, then put a new one. If the grate itself is in order, then thoroughly wash it of dirt with a hard washcloth and dishwashing detergent. Then, using a metal brush, scrape off the walls of the ventilation duct from the layer of dirt. If you find large debris there, then pull it out with your hands or tongs. Remove everything that has been scraped off from the canal with a vacuum cleaner. After that, you can return the grate to its rightful place,
• from the side of the roof. If the blockage is located somewhere deep, then the question of how to get rid of it is not personally in front of you. Doing work on the roof is the prerogative of specialists. Please contact the management company about this. From there, craftsmen should be sent to quickly and safely remove the blockage.

Important! Even if you are completely confident in your abilities, do not climb onto the roof. You can fall from it under the influence of strong gusts of wind

You can stumble upon a hornet's nest built in a ventilation duct - and its inhabitants will definitely not be happy to see you, which they will express very actively.Finally, with the wrong actions, you can damage the ventilation duct, and you will have to be responsible for this. In general, leave this work to those who are paid for it.

Unpleasant smell from the neighbors' apartment: what to do

If there is a constant stench from the neighbors below or above, the first thing to do is to talk peacefully with them. The causes of bad breath can be different:

• specific food, the aroma of which is not liked by everyone;
• smoking, when the smell of cigarettes is constantly in the toilet and other places with an exhaust hood;
• non-compliance with sanitary standards, for example, residents keep a lot of pets and do not clean up after them.

If peace negotiations do not help, you can start a fight with unscrupulous neighbors. The procedure depends on the nature of the stink.

For example, if the neighbors downstairs smoke and the smell constantly rises into your apartment, there are no grounds for complaint, since smoking is prohibited only in public places. Read more about how to act if the smell of tobacco from neighbors is constantly in the apartment, read here.

Prevention of unpleasant odors in the apartment

To make your apartment smell only fresh, follow these simple rules:

• Ventilate your living space regularly.
• Perform wet cleaning with the addition of potassium permanganate or vinegar to the water.
• Take out the trash can promptly.
• Check the operation of the ventilation system in a timely manner.
• Take care of household appliances regularly.
• When cleaning the apartment, wash textiles, curtains.
• Use coffee beans or tea bags to freshen the air in your furniture. Also essential oils of mint and citrus.
• Air pillows and blankets outside.
• Remove dust and clean carpets.

If you follow all of the above steps, then the problem of bad odors in your home will never overtake you.

Getting the smell out of furniture

As mentioned a little earlier, furniture can be the cause of an unpleasant smell in the apartment. If there is a smell in the closet, then first remove all things and dry them. It is advisable to do this on the street. Three days will be enough to dry completely. Treat the cabinet with a solution of vinegar or bleach. Leave doors open for ventilation. If things in the closet managed to become covered with fungus, they need to be dry-cleaned. If the kitchen cabinet smells bad, then it is enough to wipe its walls with a napkin dipped in lemon juice or vinegar. Leave doors open for ventilation. As an air freshener, you must use natural coffee or activated carbon. Place them in pouches in the middle of the closet.
