Common conclusions

When homeowners move out of a place, they could leave behind some lingering odors in the walls and carpets. But don't worry as there are many ways to clean this odor. For the carpets, make sure you do a deep clean if they look new or if they look old and you plan to be in this house for a long time, consider changing the carpets completely. Open all the windows and allow fresh air to come in, so your new home can feel fresh. Do a paint job if needed, to remove the smell on the walls.

The best way to remove the bad odor from your refrigerator is to place a cup of used ground coffee powder inside it overnight. This will absorb and eliminate all the smells. Likewise, you can put baking soda or white vinegar in a cup and leave it inside the fridge and this will take away the bad smells.

Drains can smell bad especially if they haven't been cleaned in a long time. The first step to eliminating this smell is to check if the water is draining properly and there are no obstructions in it. If the water is not draining properly, it could lead to a bad smell, and in that case, you'll have to call a plumber to remove the obstruction. If your water drains well, it means there are no obstructions, but still, food particles and oil can cause a residue. Pour a cup of apple cider vinegar down the drain to remove the bad odor.

No one tends to leave rotten eggs at home as the smell is unbearable. Still, it makes sense to check the kitchen for any rotten eggs. If you don't find any, it indicates that the gas in your house is leaking. Leave your house immediately as this could be dangerous and call a professional to fix the problem right away.

The best way to remove bad odor from fabrics is to spray a solution of water and baking soda on them. An even better option is to add baking soda to your wash cycles, so it removes the odor automatically. If you're talking about fabrics that can't be washed so easily, simply spray a solution of water and baking soda. Leaving a bowl of coffee powder can also help.

There are a ton of natural oils that can be mixed with lemon and baking soda for a natural disinfectant.

If you don't mind the chemicals, there are a ton of effective and fragrant options available that clean well and give a good odor.
