Familiar with the fact that you enter the house and there is an unpleasant odor, and as much as you do not search you can not locate the source?
Empty the tin, open the windows, flush the toilet again for safety ... and the smell is still there?
Here are some things that can cause a stench in the house and are not really the immediate suspects:
1. The washing
machine for
washing
machines - especially if they have a front opening, there is a tendency to develop a stinking mold in the sealing strip around the door.
In some cases this mold can also cause unpleasant health effects like allergic reactions or irritation in the eyes and respiratory tract.
Leaving the machine door open between sessions will help prevent the development of this mold, as well as periodic cleaning and drying of the disaster-prone rubber seal.

2. Garbage grinder
Sometimes all kinds of bacteria and germs stick a stake in the drain opening of the sink and decide to establish a fragrant colony there, and when there is a garbage grinder that swallows more food residue than a regular sink drain, it can exacerbate the problem.
What to do?
Once a week put in the grinder 6 ice cubes, a tablespoon of baking soda, 3 thin slices of lemon and a teaspoon of bleach.
Add another 6 ice cubes and turn on the grinder.
After he finishes grinding this mixture, turn on the cold water tap and let it flow for 30 seconds.
The pieces of ice help release pieces of food stuck in the pipe, the bleach disinfects and kills bacteria, and the lemon slices neutralize the bad smell.

furniture sometimes
fumes
volatile organic compounds (VOC for short). These are chemicals that can cause irritation in the airways or eyes, headaches and dizziness and sometimes they also have an unpleasant chemical / industrial odor. What to do? Open windows and ventilate the house. And in the future when buying furniture, look for products without VOC or with their low content.
4.
Carpets Rugs can hide a lot of dirt and grime inside. It is not only dust but also mold spores and all sorts of unpleasant matters. When they accumulate it can cause a stench. What to do? Be sure to vacuum the carpet 3 times a week (especially if it is in a public space like a living room or dining area that is exposed to more than your feet), and once a year clean it thoroughly with steam.
5. Decay in the refrigerator
The stench of spoiled food is one of the worst there is.
If every time you open the refrigerator door you get a stinking breeze into the interior, this is what you need to do: Clean the shelves and drawers with warm soapy water (avoid strong detergents - still, your food is there and you do not want toxic chemicals in yogurt).
Once a week they went over the contents of the refrigerator and threw in the trash products that had expired, expired and canceled their victims.
And if there is still a bad smell, put a small vessel without a lid with baking soda - it neutralizes odors.

6.
Wet towels Wet or damp towels are a preferred environment for bacteria, fungi and mold - they are easy and pleasant to breed there - and when that happens, the stench rises.
Wash your towels once a week - increase the frequency in the summer, when it gets hot and humid.
After a shower, hang them to dry on a wide pole rack, not a hook - this way they will dry better.
7. Mold
When there is a bad smell in the house and you are unable to locate the source in any visible way - many times the culprit is mold.
The mold can hide in walls, behind large furniture, in cabinets (even between wall cabinets and the wall on which they are built) / behind tiles, panels or wallpaper and also inside the air conditioning ducts.
Mold develops in humid places - under sinks, walls where pipes pass or wet rooms that do not have enough ventilation.
Usually, it is very difficult to treat and get rid of mold alone, and it will be necessary to hire a professional who will repair both the source of the moisture and also clean and remove the mold that has formed as a result.
