Walking into your home only to be greeted by unpleasant odours is never a welcoming experience. However, you don't have to spend a fortune on expensive room fresheners or luxury reed diffusers to keep your space smelling delightful.

Trick 1: Coffee Break

Coffee grounds are a great natural solution for eliminating unwanted smells. Placing a bowl of coffee grounds near persistent odours, such as those from pet accidents, can be very effective. Simply dry out used coffee grounds and position the bowl close to the source of the smell.

Trick 2: Baking Soda

Instead of masking household odours, tackle them at the source with bicarbonate of soda. This affordable product can neutralize and absorb unpleasant scents that have seeped into fabrics. Sprinkle baking soda on rugs or carpets, let it sit, and then vacuum it up for a fresh-smelling home.

Trick 3: Bed Wash

If you have pets, regularly washing their bedding is crucial to prevent the buildup of hair and bacteria that can contribute to unpleasant odours in your home.

Trick 4: Deep Freeze

To combat odours from food waste bins, consider using a compostable bag in the freezer for food scraps instead of a traditional bin. Freezing food waste will help reduce odours, making your kitchen smell fresher.
