Natural remedies to help with odours in your home

5 Natural Remedies For Bad Odours In Your Home

Coffee

This should sound exciting if you’re a coffee lover. Aside from giving your body an energy boost, coffee can also work as a fragrance-filled air freshener. Set bowls of freshly ground coffee in any area of your home with a foul smell, and enjoy as the sweet scent of your coffee drives out any odour in your home, leaving your home smelling like fresh morning delight. 

Oranges in cinnamon water

Another hack you can try is simmering hot water in a pot on a stove, adding several slices of oranges and some cinnamon sticks, and allowing them to settle. If cinnamon sticks aren’t available, you can use a few tablespoons of cinnamon powder instead. When your mixture simmers, turn off the heat and allow your pot to sit in your preferred location for as long as you want. Next, enjoy the delicious scent of orange and cinnamon emanating from your pot and spreading across your home. 

Orange peel candles

You can try using an orange peel candle for rooms in your home with a bad odour. To make this unique candle, simply remove the edible insides of the orange, being careful to leave the middle stem-like portion intact. Leave your orange peel looking hollow, and pour a small amount of any oil of your choice into it. Once done, light the exposed stalk as you’ll do with a normal candle. Your orange peel candle can burn non-stop all day, leaving your room smelling pleasingly fresh. Another great advantage of using an orange peel candle is that it can help drive away annoying mosquitoes. That means you can relax under your home’s awnings, enjoy the freshness and feel safe.
