Forget about unpleasant smells, as we have prepared a list of simple but effective solutions to ensure that the smell in the apartment is always pleasant.
1. Regular and thorough cleaning
Let's start with the basic practice - regular and thorough cleaning. Not only does cleaning remove dirt and dust, but it also prevents the growth of bacteria that can cause unpleasant odors. Regular carpet vacuuming, floor mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and furniture cleaning are key steps. Pay particular attention to fabrics such as carpets, curtains and upholstered furniture, as odors tend to linger in these materials.
2. Using scented humidifiers
Air humidifiers with built-in scents they are a great way to keep your home smelling good. In addition to humidifying the air, they also spread a subtle scent around the room. Choose a scent you love, such as lavender, citrus or the smell of freshly washed laundry. Some humidifiers allow you to adjust the intensity of the scent so that it can be adjusted to your preferences.

Natural ways of freshening the air are environmentally friendly and affordable. Make sure your rooms are well lit, as sunlight helps prevent the build-up of moisture that can cause unpleasant odors. Add bowls of water to the space where you can add citrus slices, cinnamon sticks, or fresh herbs like mint. The water will slowly evaporate and spread a pleasant natural smell throughout the apartment. You can also use cups with coffee or baking soda, which absorb unpleasant odors in the refrigerator or other closed spaces.
4. Use of essential oils
Essential oils are a great way to scent your home. Use an essential oil diffuser to create a relaxing environment and eliminate unpleasant odors. Choose scents that suit you, such as lavender, eucalyptus, lemon, rosemary or vanilla. Essential oils can also be added to cleaning water or used as a freshener for bedding and towels.
5. Clean out the shoe closet
Shoes are often the source of unpleasant odors. Make sure the shoes are always dry and ventilated. You can place baking soda bags in your shoes to absorb moisture and prevent odors. You can also use scented bags with herbs or cedar wood to help keep your shoes fresh.

Fresh flowers and indoor plants not only brighten up your home, but also contribute to fresh air. Some plants, such as peace lilies, lavender, jasmine or roses, emit pleasant scents. Place them in rooms where you want to freshen the air. You can place fresh flowers in vases around the apartment and thus refresh more than just one room.
7. Regular ventilation
The simplest and most effective way to refresh the apartment is regular ventilation. At least a few minutes a day, open the windows and allow fresh air to enter. This will remove stale air and ensure that the air in the room is always fresh.
