Deodorize thoroughly before creating fragrance
Many people have a habit of using scented candles or room sprays to cover up unpleasant odors in the house. However, according to living space care experts, the most important thing is still to eliminate the source of odor instead of just temporarily covering up the smell.
Areas such as trash cans, refrigerators, laundry rooms or toilets are often places where silent but prolonged odors accumulate. Baking soda and white vinegar are considered simple, economical but effective solutions for deodorizing and cleaning surfaces in the house.
Dr. Alan Hedge - interior environment expert at Cornell University (USA) - said that the quality of air in the house directly affects people's feelings of relaxation and comfort. According to him, periodic cleaning helps limit the growth of bacteria, mold and odor-causing agents in closed spaces.
After treating unpleasant odors, choosing cleaning products with a gentle fragrance will help the house maintain a cleaner feeling for longer. Orange, lemon, mint or eucalyptus scents often create a fresh feeling and are suitable for many modern living spaces.
Maintain a natural fragrance for living space
In addition to cleaning, clothes, blankets, sheets, and curtains also significantly affect the overall smell of the house. Clothes that are dried indoors or not thoroughly dried can easily cause a damp odor. Gentle laundry detergents or fabric sprays help maintain a clean feeling without causing discomfort.
In addition, scented candles and essential oil diffusers are becoming popular choices in many families. Scented candles are suitable for creating a cozy atmosphere, while essential oil diffusers are highly appreciated for their stable and safer fragrance release when used for a long time.
Ms. Rachel Herz - a neuroscientist specializing in scent research at Brown University (USA) - said that scents have a strong impact on emotions and memory. A space with a pleasant scent often helps people feel relaxed, easily connected and more comfortable in daily life.
Experts also recommend not using too many types of incense at the same time. A clean, airy house combined with a gentle scent often brings a more comfortable and natural feeling.
