Since windows are closed and heater is turned on,
ventilating Escondido San Diego homes
is really a hard task to do during the winter. And the worst thing is that the
heating system and fireplace can cause all kinds of new bad odors too. To keep
your home smelling sweet and clean until spring, here is a helpful list to
locate the cause of bad odors and stop them in their tracks.
Odor: Remaining food odors
Cause: Fried food, overcooked
food, spicy food, fish
Solution: The most excellent thing
for refreshing the air in your kitchen is to boil some tablespoons of vinegar in water. That
is very effective even on the most awful leftover cooking stinks. Or if you desire
to keep away from the problem on the whole, just order takeout food next time.
Odor: Smoky
Cause: Drafty
vent
Solution: The warm, welcoming scent of
roaring flames in a fireplace is a winter treat. But what about the foul soot scent
you catch when the fire's out? That's absolutely bad. The source is likely a mixture
of a drafty vent and an imbalance of pressure in the atmosphere in your dwelling.
To stay away from the scent, stop the flow of air by making sure your damper
has a tight seal, and aim to regulate the pressure in the atmosphere by adding
more return air registers to your HVAC. This will not only help you remove
the odor, but might also lower down your electric bill.
Odor: Sewage
Cause: Bathroom
Solution: Bathroom of Escondido San Diego homes can be stinky
during the winter, especially if the it is unventilated. If the odor seems to
be coming from the toilet, a cup of pure vinegar in the tank can work like a
miracle. Wait for five minutes before scrubbing and flushing. For additional
bleaching power, pour hydrogen peroxide in the bowl.
