Why do people get colds? And where does the allergy suddenly come from? Never thought? Ah, thought about it and blame everything on bad heredity. Like, my great-aunt just didn’t part with drops from a cold, and my maternal uncle is a terrible allergic person.
Or maybe relatives have nothing to do with it. Maybe stale, stale air or just an unpleasant, stubborn smell in your apartment or the room in which you work is to blame. Most likely the way it is.
To get started - learn how to properly ventilate the apartment
In a rather warm season (spring, autumn, especially summer), it is better to arrange cross-ventilation in the apartment, while opening the window and the front door. In winter, it is better to arrange frequent, but short airings. Make a strong draft.
In this case, the air will have time to quickly change (in 10 minutes), and the room itself and the objects in it, the furniture will not have time to cool down. Otherwise, prolonged “ventilation” with a slightly ajar window will simply cool the apartment and increase your heating costs. For comparison, it takes more than 2 hours to change all the air in the apartment in this way.
How to remove the remaining odors in the apartment?
As a rule, the main source of odors in the apartment is the kitchen. It is in it that persistent aromas are born, which are very difficult to get rid of, and it is very difficult to prevent their occurrence: either they cooked fish for dinner, then the potatoes burned, then the milk escaped. Of course, the hood helps a lot in this regard, but what about those who do not have this comfortable household appliance?
If something smells in the kitchen, burn the peel of a lemon or orange on the stove, or sprinkle some table salt on a hot burner. The same salt can simply be sprinkled on a hot plate and covered with a damp sheet of paper.
When you cook, especially if the stove in your house is gas, the window or at least the window in the kitchen should be kept open. Otherwise, you run the risk of “breathing in” carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and other elements of the periodic table that are not very useful for the body. And if you put a pan with a wide bottom, a frying pan or a basin on the stove, which will cover the surface of the burner, harmful substances are released with particular intensity. Exit? Burners with high ribs, which will provide free access of air to the burner flame.
Salt will also help get rid of the smell of dampness in the bathroom: it will absorb the smell and moisture. Salt also saves from other heavy odors - varnish or paint. In this case, you need to arrange containers with table salt in the room. After using it, of course, you need to throw it away. Garlic can also be handled with similar smells - cut it into cloves and leave it in the room for 30 minutes.
A specific smell in the room also comes from dust, which tends to stick to central heating batteries. To avoid this, wipe the batteries with a cloth dampened with warm water mixed with a few drops of ammonia.
You can also resort to the traditional Chinese method of air purification: hang black tea bags on the window, in the doorway and under the chandelier and open the window for 15-20 minutes. This will not only freshen the air, but also disinfect it.
How to get rid of cigarette smell?
The smell of tobacco smoke in the room persists even after very intensive ventilation. What to do? Firstly, it is better not to smoke in the apartment at all. Wallpaper, curtains very well absorb the smell, which is very, very difficult to get rid of. If you have neither the strength nor the desire to fight a bad habit, then you need to at least worry about airing the room, because passive smoking is doubly dangerous. Try opening the window again. If the smell does not go away, place several terry towels moistened with water in different places in the room - they will absorb the unpleasant smell. The towels will then need to be washed. If you are too lazy to do this, try just lighting candles in a smoky room.
And to replace the smell of cigarettes in the room with another, say, more subtle and floral, apply a few drops of perfume to an unlit electric light bulb. And when you light it ... However, try .. - you will find out.
In addition, you can use other ways to aromatize the air - incense sticks, candles, essential oils in aroma lamps, etc. All of these incense can be selected based on individual preferences. Scented candles can be lit for 5 minutes, and then, as they cool, they will spread their scent throughout the room. Essential oils are diluted with water and heated in aroma lamps.
