Sometimes housewives notice that for some reason there is an unpleasant smell in the apartment.

Let's figure out why this happens and where you should start looking for the source of the stench.

What places to check first

While the trash can is the obvious place everyone starts, other places may surprise you.

For example, ventilation is often the source of the stench. Take a square of paper, open the windows and the door and bring the paper to the ventilation.

If it doesn’t move, there may be a blockage, and in that case it’s better to contact a specialist.

Often the source of an unpleasant smell is the laundry basket. It is not recommended to leave it in the bathroom so that it is not exposed to high humidity, which causes the development of fungus.

And don't discount new furniture. If it still smells bad after a month of use, you should be wary.

This sign indicates that components were used in the production of furniture that may be dangerous for your body.

Another source of unpleasant odor is bedding. The paradox is that we get used to the aromas of our body and practically do not feel them.

Therefore, the best prevention would be to wash your bed linen every week.
