Need To Eliminate Odors?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with THE TEMPLE TEAM

Here are a FEW HELPFUL TIPS using every day things you probably already have around the house!

Orange

 

  • Bring to a Boil and then let Simmer:
    • 2 - 3 cups water
    • cinnamon
    • orange peel 
    • cloves
  • Fill a Glass or Jar with Vinegar and place in any part of the room

 

  • Soak a Cotton Ball with Vanilla Extract and place on a saucer

 

  • Put an unused Charcoal Briquette in an unused coffee filter in a smelly/must closet to remove odors

 

  • Sprinkle Baking Soda on Carpet (let sit a little while) then Vacum Upbaking soda

 

  • Fill spray bottle full of vinegar and spray the air after cooking to remove lingering odors

 

  • Change Air Filters throughout home

 

  • Last but not least ... REMOVE SMELLY ITEMS (ie: sneakers, wet things, etc...)

 

These are GREAT TIPS for ANY time but espcially when expecting guests or showing your home while it's For Sale!

What a great informative Blog The Temple Team.  Especially 'removing cooking odors', and I shall have to check out the pet odors, too!  Since you are in NC, I hope that you are not experiencing flooding, winds, or any storm surge.  Even when Flo leaves, I know the worst will not necessarily be over - stay safe!

I showed a house the other day that had charcoal briquettes in the corners of several rooms - we didn't smell anything unusual but wondered what exactly we would have smelled if they weren't there. I'd suggest not leaving them in plain sight!
