Food smells from cooking, particularly oily fish, frying and roasting are easily noticeable and dealt with by washing pans and regularly cleaning the oven. Similarly, fridges are regularly emptied and cleaned. But what about the gradual build-up of general household smells?
We get used to odours in our own homes and summer is usually a great time to 'air' carpets as windows and doors are open most days - except when the British summertime is wet! In fact, wet dogs and muddy shoes leave marks, cats stay in and drop hairs, we may even have resorted to bringing barbecue food and drink inside, adding to the spills and smells.
Time to think about a freshen-up! Professional carpet cleaners are usually very busy in the first week of September when children return to school, as well as the end of July before customers set off for their annual holidays. If you want to clean your own carpets, you need to ban children and pets for a good few hours!
When we have pleasant weather, the best way to bring the fresh outdoors inside is to open windows and patio doors. Beware of dirty shoes though!
