Few factors that make your home stink

Even after spraying enough of the room freshener around the room I found it difficult to suppress the objectionable smell on the party night. I did not even think of such a situation in my worst nightmare; I was at my wits end!

Using a strong freshener however helped me for the time being but I tried to find out the exact reason behind that bad odor. Thanks to God that I did because ignorance could lead to even bigger issues.

After doing some research on the matter and consulting some experts I found that three factors could make my home stink. Here we go:

• Poor Ventilation


• Mold and Mildew growth inside your home


• Pet Pollens and Pet Messes

Let's look deeper into the issues. Let's find the answer to the questions like how these factors spread bad odor, what can happen if proper care is not taken and how to remove the smell. I am sure this discussion would help people who are in similar situation. Or you can just read it to keep your home neat, clean and healthy.

Sometimes it may happen that you haven't opened the windows for long due to harsh weather outside. The indoor air gets circulated again and again and ultimately generates an objectionable odor inside. If proper care is not taken it can lead to breathing trouble, airborne diseases, colonization of molds and mildews and many more.

A complete package of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, also known as HVAC, is good for commercial premises. For houses we need to keep enough space at the construction level so that air can flow freely. Ventilation problem can be solved by installing good exhaust system for the house.

This is perhaps the most common reason behind musty odor in homes. Even when they are not visible, the odor can be smelled in indoor environment. Mold inspection should be practiced once the mold odor is sensed.

You can do the inspection yourself as well. Check the places like basement, carpet, window sidings, awnings, back of the curtains, bathroom and kitchen walls, outer walls especially the places closed to rainwater pipe etc. thoroughly. Discoloration on carpet or curtains, spots on the damp walls may be mold growth.

Failure to take action timely can cause serious health problems for family members. Allergies, asthma, headache, runny noses and watery eyes are common symptoms of exposure to harmful molds.

The problem with molds is they tend to come back again and again to attack the infected substrate. So removing mold temporarily may not be enough you need to kill mold so that they never return!

Do you have pets with you? Do you keep them inside your house? It is quite normal as many people do so. But you need to take proper care of your pets so that they never stink nor do they spread pet odor.

Improper pet keeping is unhygienic and can lead to health problems for the pet and family members. Some individuals are allergic to pet dander and pet pollen. You should keep carpet, floors and other places clean to minimize the ratio of dander.

Even pottey trained pets can also leave stains on carpets and floors sometime. You should always be prepared with good Pet Stain Odor Removal so that you never get embarrassed before your visitors.
