Weird Question, but I cant help but ask!?

How do you prevent a new house from smelling bad? Can you somehow make it smell a certain way or is it just going to smell a certain way on it's own?

Answer 1

That 'new house smell' is probably the same thing as the 'new car smell'.  Volatile organic chemicals that are evaporating rapidly from the new materials like carpets, paint, etc.

There is debate over how harmful they might be... but if you smell it, you are absorbing it into your body.

The only thing you can do is keep the widows open & a fan blowing in one of the as much as you can.. give them a chance to dissapate into the atmosphere & away from you.

It will go away sooner or later.. but it takes time.

Answer 2

just spary a lot of stuff that makes your house smells good.
