Ugh...my house smells!

It's smells sort of stale (for lack of a better term).  We've had the doors open as much as we can, but I guess it just needs a good cleaning.  We only have carpet in our sunroom, and I'm going to steam clean it.  Any other suggestions?  I know it doesn't help because I have a heightened sense of smell these days (which really sucks)!
 

Re: Ugh...my house smells!

  • If there's a smell you do like/can tolerate maybe lighting a candle or getting a glade plug-in in that scent?
  • Is the smell in one area or is it an all over smell?
  • Has it been really humid?  Our basement tends to smell stale in the summer if we don't have the dehumidifier running.
  • Since our house has been on the market, I've been sprinkling baking soda on the carpet and vaccuming it up after 5 -10 minutes. I've also been setting little dishes of vinegar around. It seems to help but is not over powering!
  • We get a smoky smell in our house when it rains because moisture gets in the chimney.. .anyways this product works really well, we received it in a gift with cigars, etc, it is intended to help with cigar smoke. We had it in "neutral" scent before and just bought the "fresh linen" scent. It is a little bit expensive but the equivalent of $25 of liquid lasted us a whole year of smoky chimney's and curry dinners, lol.

  • Thanks girls...that'll be my post-nap project!

    Jen&Joe...it just seems to be an overall smell.  It's been pretty humid, so I'm sure that's not helping.  DH says he 'doesn't smell a thing' =)
