There are some houses that you walk into and get overwhelmed by a certain smell. You can not put your finger on what exactly it is, but there is no mistaking that it is there. How does one deal with this phenomenon? Below I have compiled a few tips that will help make Stinky House Syndrome a thing of the past.

1. Burn Scented Candles (do not leave where flame is unattended)
2. Put out dishes of dried Lavender or Rosemary
3. Try spraying perfume on a light bulb (on that is not turned on!) When heated, the scent will carry
4. Burn incense
5. Dried eucalyptus not only looks pretty, but smells great
6. Bake cookies, cakes, bread, etc.
7. Simmer apple slices or orange peels along with cinnamon sticks on the stove
8. The magic that is Febreeze
9. Leave carpet deodorizers on the carpet and then vaccum

10. Plug-in fresheners
11. Bowls with sponges and vanilla extract poured on them
12. Use fridge baking soda boxes to catch bad odors

And the simplest one of all: Open your windows. Getting some fresh air flowing through the house can do so much more than just getting a lovely breeze in the living room.
