Homeowners can develop a condition that is called “nose blind.” Getting to this state involves three steps. The first is odor adaptation; your nose’s physical response that normalizes new smells. The second is odor habituation; a built-in reprogramming of our brain to ignore a smell. And last odor infestation which is what your guests smell when they come to visit. When you nose does not recognize a smell as a threat to you, it begins to learn to ignore it. CONTINUE READING--->
Good morning Thierry Roche ,
Excellent post! You are right "using candles, air freshener sprays and even baking chocolate chip cookies won’t get rid of the smells permanently. To get rid of an odor once and for all, you must track down the source of the smell first and then clean and/or treat the area." I just subscribed to your blog.
Great Blog Thierry Roche! So true on smells, and you can definitely 'not smell an odor' if you live in a home with one, unless if it is a new odor! And trying to mask an odor, as opposed to getting rid of it, isn't always easy, especially with pet/carpet/pad issues (it's like a 'temporary' fix).
