Take a whiff; that’s the sweet—no, maybe it’s rotten—smell of your home. Here are the most common smells you’ll encounter in your house, along with the most effective ways to eliminate smells in your homethat have no business intruding on your health.

Cigarette Smoke

Cigarette smoke is common, but it’s a smell no one wants lingering. No matter how far someone is from your door, the scent can travel and remain for an extended time. To help satisfy your senses, use a cloth and drench it in white vinegar. Ring it out, and then turn it in the air. Since the white vinegar is natural, it’ll help soak up the smell and have your home smelling like new.
