Busting bad smells

By By LeighAnn Foskey |

Thursday, February 10, 2005

Pets, roommates and your own hamper can leave your house smelling not so fresh. But before spend your hard-earned cash on room deodorizers and carpet cleaners, try using what’s already in your kitchen. Baking soda is great at absorbing odors. Sprinkle some on the carpet, let it sit and vacuum it up. If you don’t know where the odor is coming from, fill a few saucers with vinegar and set them around your house. The vinegar absorbs odors in the air. For smelly wastebaskets or hampers throw in a dryer sheet and the sweaty-feet smell will “bounce.”
