Wondering how to get rid of those stinky household odors? Read on as we share some simple stinky home remedies to keep your home smelling fresh and clean.

8 Amazing Ways To Banish Of Stinky Smell

Household odors can make for an embarrassing and uncomfortable situation and can be a hassle to get rid of. Simple stinky home remedies and a little extra cleaning can correct most of these unpleasant odors. Here are a few of the most common household stink culprits and a few suggestions on how to keep your house odors under control.

 

1. Get Rid Of Stinky Car

Combine 8 parts hot water (not boiling), 1 part vinegar and several drops of dish detergent. Place the ingredients into a water bottle and shake. Next, clear any clutter in the offending area and give it a good spraying. Then, use a towel to soak up any nasty areas and scrub brush the carpet. Use baking soda to coat your car and let it sit for 24 hours, and then clean it all away using your vacuum cleaner. You really won’t be disappointed by the results.

Make a habit of cleaning your drains to keep them odor-free. Pour ½ cup baking soda then ½ cup white vinegar into the drain opening. Let the foam work for about 30 minutes. Boil a gallon of water in a kettle and pour it down the drain. Repeat every one to two weeks to prevent odors from building up.

 

3. Get Rid Of Stinky Vacuum Cleaner

Infuse your vacuum cleaner with the calming scent of lavender and change the mood around your house. Drop two or three droplets of lavender oil on a cotton ball then toss it into your vacuum bag. Add fresh scented balls whenever the scent begins to fade.

 

4. Stinky Dishwasher

Remove the filter and cover of your dishwasher then use dish soap and hot water to clean them. Soak them until the grime and gunk are dissolved. Next, rinse the cover and filter and use a paper towel to remove any lingering food bits or residue. Then, wipe clean the drain of the dishwasher, removing any residue from the area.
