Guests that do not smoke or have pets can easily pick up on those smells, and it can result in them cutting their visit short. Instead of wondering why guests never want to come over, and if they do they don’t stay for long, follow these steps to guarantee that the house smells fresh and clean no matter how many pets or smokers there are.
Carpet cleaning
Carpet cleaning is a must for everyone, but especially for smokers and pet owners. Even if pets go outside or in the litterbox, the smell of pets can wind up staying in the fabric. Carpet cleaning is not just to remove the strong smell of cat urine, cleaning also a necessity to remove the smell of pets. One cat may not seem like much, but it can cause a certain smell.
Cigarette smoke is known for staining walls, being in clothes and in curtains, so most people forget about the smell in the carpet. This is why homeowners treat their clothing, curtains and furniture but cannot get rid of the smell. It’s because it is still in the carpet.
Professional carpet cleaning can remove all the odor, resulting in a home that smells fresh and clean.
Wax melts
Once a home has been scrubbed and the carpet is clean, there are some other things that homeowners can do to make sure that it continues to smell gorgeous. Wax melts are one of those ways.
They sell products that are made of ceramic specifically for wax melts. The owner puts the wax melts in the top, and then lights a candle in the bottom. The heat from the candle melts the wax, and the smell drifts throughout the entire house, making it smell delicious.
For a more cost-effective way to do this, pick up a wax warmer and a tealight candle. Then, instead of using wax melts, use fabric softener pellets. The smell of these is stronger, and it will last for hours.
Dryer sheets
Dryer sheets are another cost-effective way to keep a home smelling wonderful. During the warmer months, put dryer sheets inside of an air conditioner where the air blows out. During the colder months, do the same thing with heater vents. When the heat or the air conditioner come on, they will blow out the hot or cold air, and it will smell like dryer sheets.
Change them once a week and relax. The house will smell great with almost no effort.
Getting a home to smell clean may require a little bit more money, but once it does, the hard part is over. After that, carpet cleaning once or twice a year and these two easy DIY tips will keep a home smelling fresh and clean all year long.
Homeowners will never have to feel bad about the way that their home smells again. They will never wonder if their home smells like cigarettes and cats and they just can’t smell it because they are used to it. Parties will not be cut short because the guests are in a hurry to leave.
Instead, they will be able to relax and enjoy their home just like they could when they first bought it.
