Of course, you have noticed that each apartment has its own smell. There are apartments where nice to go there smell clean, fresh, flowers, sometimes Oriental incense or aromamassage. And if it smells of dampness, mold, stale junk, processtime soup... How to deal with unpleasant odors and how to teach your house to smell good? The answers to these questions we have.
If the smell is the cause of dampness...
First you need to determine the cause of damp in the apartment. This can be broken vent shaft at the entrance and constantly flooded basement (there's also the possibility that the upper floors you quietly stoked). Check the riser - pipe hot and cold water supply must be insulated, otherwise they can condense. Pay attention to the joints of the walls (if the seams are sealed poorly, it is likely you will find dampness) In any case - it is necessary to eliminate the source of moisture, because otherwise the dampness will not go away.
Before you invest your energy and money, please contact GEN (more precisely, an organization with which You have signed a contract for the provision of utility services) to identify and eliminate possible causes (for example, often in the ventilation shafts on the upper floors of integrated kitchen appliances that blocks air circulation at the bottom).
If dampness on the wall joints, it is likely that you "forgot" to pave the insulation, in this case - you need to warm (this should be done from the side of the entrance and the street). To perform all this, you can use foam.
Then, if the problem is completely gone, you can do the waterproofing of the floor, to isolate the riser (also, for thermal insulation of buildings can to protect the bottom of the riser). Make high-quality insulation and fitting Windows (penetration of cold air is the cause of the condensate).
If the reason - cat
For anybody not a secret that the intact adult cat can map out the territory that generally help! Use oxygen bleach. If using spray it on the carpet or sofa, there is an instant reaction with the release of a huge amount of foam and the smell disappears immediately. Try to throw Barefoot cat tray with grating, the effect is the same. Foam, and no smell! And that's not all. If your cat has come to the tray with the grill once, but do not want to come back twice because he didn't like the smell, you can pour a little bare right under the grill when the cat comes, its activity is immediately neutralized and he will come again.
How to deal with the smells in the kitchen
The main site of accumulation of unpleasant smell in our apartment is the kitchen: burnt oil, ran the milk, cooked fish. As a rule, even in strong draughts, this fragrance is hard to dispel, as it is quite resistant.
How to deal: it will help the most common salt. Sprinkle a pinch on a hot burner or scatter a small amount on a hot plate and cover with a damp sheet of paper. And to pots and pans not stored the heavy smell of fish, RUB the warm salt. If you recently did a repair and the smell of oil paint does not want to disappear, put in a room in several places plates with table salt. By the way, the bathroom is often the smell of dampness. Salt also absorbs excessive moisture and odor.
Tobacco
The smell of tobacco is a real challenge for most families. With the advent of cold weather lovers, osmolite prefer to go with the cold balcony in the warm room. Behind them in the apartment and sneaks cigarette smoke, which "kick" simple ventilation impossible. You can buy a special refreshing spray, absorbent particles to tobacco smoke. Also available in 2-3 places in the room to put wet towels, they perfectly absorb the smell of cigarettes. If you are too lazy to wash towels, then try in a smoky room just to burn candles. And don't forget to let into the room fresh air opening of at least 5-10 minutes the window.
