You wake up. You’re tired. You rush to make coffee, run out the door, and scrape by the timer to get into a class at the right time.
You clock out, come home, and just have enough energy for food and then go to bed. We’ve all been there.
The problem is your place can amass garbage, messiness, and begins to stink. So what do you do? Well, here are some door tips for the stinky place, most of which are disappointing in their banality and in their requiring work.
Tip one: keep tidy as you can. Messiness is the single biggest source of stench in my experience. When your clothes are piling up, the stench botch is as well. So be mindful of the laundry, including bed blankets and other things bound to stink.
Tip two: do the dishes. Dishes can pile up easy. I would recommend taking the farmer approach. There’s always manure. That needs to be picked up and shoveled out, daily. Make it a routine, it’ll become less exhausting. The place will be less messy with fewer dishes and will not only smell less in the kitchen but also look better. Aesthetics can psychologically take away from the sensation of the stench.
Tip three: get an odor neutralizer for the bathroom. Bathrooms, let’s face it, are horrifying. A place to shave and groom and pluck, to put on rouge and lipstick, and to excrete. It’s just an awful, gross admixture that also is quite obviously a place in deep need of stink-be-gone. When you go to the bathroom, you can use a normal spray to neutralize any potential smells, just leave it in an obvious place. Also, it can be a simple thing for guests to use too, which, as students, is common happenstance.
Tip four: buy a vacuum cleaner. The floor, like clothes and the sheets, can build up unpleasant odors, which require regular upkeep. If you have wood floors, get a sweeper or some equivalent for it, you won’t regret it. You could also look into a robotic floor cleaner if you want to invest in one to save you time.
That’s not it but it is a start, so get to it!
