Have you ever had a stench that overwhelms your entire home, and you can\u2019t determine the source? You clean out your entire fridge, deep clean the carpets, and take out the trash but there still seems to be a foul tinge lingering in the air. There are many unseen smells that build up and can even be dangerous if not removed, for they contain harmful chemicals. Below are some potential explanations for what\u2019s causing the atrocious odors in your home and suggestions for odor removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7 Common Causes of Bad Indoor Odors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Sewer Odors<\/strong> \u2013 Believe it or not, some of the main causes of odors may be beyond your control completely, such as the smell of sewage coming through your sink drains. This often occurs among unused sinks, as there is a U-shaped pipe that acts as a barrier between the sewer pipes and sink. When not in use, the water evaporates and allows the sewer odor to move through the sink. If you are experiencing a rotten egg-like smell in your bathroom, an easy fix is running the water periodically in any sinks that aren\u2019t regularly used.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
   1. Lingering Smoke<\/strong> \u2013 The odor from smoke can last in a home for a long while; it will embed itself into fabrics, carpets, and even the walls and floors of your house. Smoking cigars and cigarettes is clearly a dangerous habit; however, even breathing in the chemicals from the lingering smoke can be harmful. Removing cigarette smoke completely from a home is difficult, but it involves repainting and cleaning the walls, ceilings, and floors.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. Mold<\/strong> \u2013 Mold is one of the most common sources of odors in homes and typically causes a musty smell. It grows in damp areas such as basements, kitchens, and bathrooms. Mold can also be toxic and cause respiratory issues. In order to eliminate mold, you must remove or reduce the moisture first, and then clean the mold that has already grown.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
         1. Gas<\/strong> \u2013 Naturally occurring gas has no smell, but an additive makes it smell like rotten eggs, so it is more easily detected. If you think your unpleasant home odor might be gas, check your burner valves to make sure no gas sources were left on. If no source is found, it is recommended to open your windows and call a professional ASAP.

         2. Trash<\/strong> \u2013 Though it may be obvious to some, trash is a main source of odors in the home. A quick fix is emptying and cleaning out your trash can frequently. Sprinkling baking soda at the bottom can also neutralize any lingering trash can smells.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            1. Pets<\/strong> \u2013 While domestic pets can carry odors, they can also leave them on the carpet and furniture. Solutions include steam cleaning fabrics and bathing your pet regularly to help prevent extreme odors.
