During the summer season, as temperatures rise, the smell of the house becomes unpleasant due to humidity, sweat, food, and sometimes the high temperature itself.
It is important to pay attention to cleaning the house and taking care of its smell to provide a refreshing and healthy atmosphere for family members and guests. There are several reasons behind the foul odors in the house during the summer, including:
– High humidity: High humidity in the weather leads to the growth of mold and fungi in some areas such as the bathroom and kitchen.
– Accumulation of dust and dirt: Accumulation of dust and dirt leads to the accumulation of bacteria that emit unpleasant odors.
– Storing food in high temperatures: Many people prefer to store food, but with the high temperature, food spoilage may occur, emitting strong odors.
– Poor ventilation of the house: When the house is not ventilated, the air becomes stagnant and retains foul odors, in addition to the odors of sweat and moisture from clothes or carpets.

### Steps to take care of the smell of the house in the summer:
1. Continuous ventilation: Windows and doors should be opened in the morning and evening to renew the air inside the house, and using ventilation fans or electric fans to enhance air movement.
2. Regular house cleaning: Experts recommend the necessity of cleaning the floors, especially in areas where dirt and moisture accumulate, washing fabrics such as curtains, sofa covers, and cushions regularly, in addition to cleaning trash cans daily to avoid the accumulation of foul odors.
3. Using natural scented materials: Charcoal or baking soda should be placed in corners to absorb odors, and natural essential oils (such as lavender, peppermint, lemon) should be used in air fresheners or sprayed inside the house.
4. Taking care of the kitchen: Maintaining the cleanliness of the sink and regularly draining water contributes to enjoying refreshing smells in the house. Leftover food should be disposed of quickly, especially fruits and vegetables that rot quickly in the summer, and scented cleaners or a solution of vinegar and water should be used to clean surfaces.
5. Dealing with humidity and mold: Dehumidifiers or air conditioning units that have a dehumidification feature should be used, and areas where mold may appear (bathrooms, behind electrical appliances) should be inspected and cleaned immediately.
