Answer 1

Using an air cleaner helps, baking soda on the carpet instead of carpet fresh, and cleaning with vinegar water....the vinegar smell will disappear once it evaporates and leaves the air fresh. You can put some orange peels and spices in a pan of water and simmer slowly on the stove for a natural spicy fragrance. you can also clean with organic orange oil cleaner, it is natural and has a mouth-watering orange scent, very nice to clean the kitchen with

Answer 2

I like glade plug-ins myself.  I have been using them for about 35 years.  I guess buy yourself a new home.  Unless you want to buy a real expensive deodorizer machine.

Answer 3

Obviously clean to within an inch of it's life.  You don't want your new scents to have to work double time covering up a bad odor.  Once everything is spotless and clean then you can make your our room scents.  Make your own potpouris out of dry citrus peels (not the white part, just the colored), cinnamon sticks, cloves, rosemary branches, rose petals.......all that natural good smelling stuff.  Our you can go the essential oils such as rose attar on perlite....an expanded volcanic rock that absorbs and hold soil scents.

Remember when you are around scents your nose begins to "turn off" as it continues to smell the same fragrances.  Maybe you'd be better off just keeping a clean house and save the special scents for special occasions.

Babies stink from time to time.  Clean them and dispose of the diaper, etc, then stir the air, the smell dissipates quickly.

Answer 4

Charcoal absorbs odors.

baking sode in water clears away odors and cleans (WILL fade fabric that is dark blue or dark green, ie, carpet or clothing if you use it as pat-on deodorant).

vinegar in water removes many odors and reasonably disinfects, but rinse it to remove its own odor  (also apply it and then wipe again with plain water, after using bleach, to stop the bleaching action)

Answer 5

Baking soda is a good  at absorbing Odor.  candles will help- along with plants...many plants absorb air from the home and exhale oxygen into the air.

Hope this helps a little.

Answer 6

you can make an air neutraliser by mixing five parts water to one part distilled vinegar and putting in a spritzer bottle. You could also make pot pourri. You can buy these wooden scented balls that have a scent that lasts around 3 months, they are available at Roseby's and are cheap. You could dampen cotton balls with vanilla extract or lavander and keep them in corners of the house which would be baby friendly.
