Why Do Rooms Smell?

By: Institutional Cleaning | August 13, 2022 | Reading time: 4 minutes

There can be many reasons for bad odours in rooms. Unpleasant odours accumulate in unventilated areas, especially if the air circulation is insufficient due to closed doors and windows. Elements such as oil and spice smells from cooking, cigarette smoke, smells from pets and long-term dust accumulation in the room are the main causes of odours in the room. In addition, mould formation is a common problem in damp rooms, and it is both harmful to health and emits a bad odour.

However, odours on surfaces such as carpets, curtains, flooring and furniture can also cause the environment to lose its freshness over time. Such surfaces suck in the ambient air, causing bad odours to persist. In addition, air conditioners that are not properly cleaned and maintained can also emit bad odours in the room.

How does the smell of a room pass through?

You can create a fresh atmosphere by following a few simple steps to remove odours from rooms. Firstly, regular ventilation of the rooms is very important. Opening doors and windows to let fresh air in is an effective solution to disperse odours. This should be done frequently, especially in cooking or smoking areas.

Another effective method is to use odour neutralising products. Especially air purifiers made of natural materials provide clean air by neutralising odours in the environment instead of masking them. In addition, sprinkling and holding natural substances such as carbonate on surfaces helps to remove bad odours from carpets and flooring. The absorbent nature of carbonate penetrates the source of the fragrance, removing it.

Once again, you can use natural essential oils during cleaning. Oils such as lavender, lemon and mint not only add a pleasant scent, but also add freshness. Mixing these oils with water in a spray bottle instantly refreshes the air in the room.

How to remove odours from carpets

Carpets are one of the biggest scent traps in the room. Dust, food residues, pets and other contaminants penetrate the carpet and create a bad odour over time. Regular care and cleaning is essential to remove odours from the carpet.

The first step is to sweep your carpet frequently to remove dust and dirt. However, sweeping may not completely remove the odour from the carpet, as it does not provide a thorough clean. In this case, you can refresh your carpet by using carbonate. Spread the carbonate evenly over the carpet and leave for a few hours or overnight. Then remove the carbonate with a vacuum cleaner. The absorbent properties of carbonate absorb bad odours from the carpet and provide freshness.

If your carpet smells stubborn, you can use professional deodorisers.

How to Deodorise the Curtain

Curtains can quickly absorb smoke, food odours and pet odours in particular. Curtains that are left uncleaned for a long time have a negative effect on the overall atmosphere of the house. Regular cleaning is important to remove odours from the curtains. For mild odours, it may be sufficient to ventilate the curtains. Opening the window to allow the curtains to meet with fresh air greatly reduces odour.

For more intense scents, washing the curtain is one of the most effective solutions. You can eliminate the source of the odour by washing the curtains according to the type of fabric. By using laundry detergents or fabric softeners that leave a pleasant smell during the washing process, you can ensure that your curtains smell clean and fresh. Drying the curtains in the sun after washing also helps to completely remove any remaining odours.

If you don't want to wash your curtains frequently, you can clean them with a natural cleaning spray from time to time. Spray a mixture of carbonate and water onto the curtain to soften odours and add freshness.
