How to get a pleasant smell throughout the house?
Maintaining good hygiene and cleaning your rooms regularly will keep them clean, free of mites and bacteria. But in addition to cleaning to make everything shine, it is also important to make sure your home smells fresh. It is easy to accumulate bad odors usually coming from the kitchen or bathroom. Fortunately here is a little trick to make your house always smell good when you vacuum: just put a little essential oil in the filter!

How to get a house that smells good using the vacuum cleaner?
Getting rid of bad smells in the home is something we all want to achieve. In the market we can find air fresheners, incense and even scented candles to make the atmosphere of our home pleasant and fragrant, however, it is not necessary to spend so much. If you want your house to smell good, you just have to resort to the vacuum cleaner trick that has now gone viral on social media.

The trick is to use scent balls, the kind that are usually sold to put inside the washing machine so that the clothes smell good. Simply throw them on the floor and run the vacuum tube to suck them up. Then replace the head of the device so that it can suck up dust and dirt from floors and carpets. You will notice that each of the rooms you clean with the vacuum cleaner is not only clean but gives off a pleasant fragrance.

How to use essential oil in your vacuum cleaner?
Essential oils can help improve the feeling of well-being and the fragrance of your home, simply choose your favorite aromas and you will notice surprising results after using them.

Put a few drops of your favorite essential oil in your vacuum cleaner’s dust bag or container. The vacuum motor will diffuse it throughout your home as you vacuum.
Use this same trick with your home’s air filter. Think of it as a sort of essential oil diffuser to freshen up your entire home.
(Be careful, however, not to use certain essential oils that can pose an inhalation hazard to children or pregnant women.)

Smelly Vacuum Cleaner: How to Get Rid of These Bad Smells?
Does your vacuum cleaner smell bad? Fortunately, there are ways to fix it. Cleaning your vacuum cleaner can help keep the unit in good condition and prevent bad odors from forming. Schedule cleaning every three to six months.

Replace the dust bag or clean the dust bin. If your vacuum cleaner has a dust bag, try replacing it with a new one first. If your vacuum cleaner has a dust bin, remove it and wash it thoroughly with hot water, soap, and a little white vinegar or baking soda.


Wash or replace the filter. If your vacuum cleaner has a washable filter, clean it and rinse the filter with cold water until the water runs clear. It may take longer than five minutes. Let the filter dry for 24 hours before vacuuming again. If your vacuum cleaner has a replaceable filter, replace it every six to 12 months. If you have pets, you should probably replace the filter every six months.
Flush the plumbing. One easily overlooked source of odor is the plumbing. Debris can get stuck there and start to smell bad. To clean the hose: First, remove it from the vacuum and push a broom handle through it to remove large debris. Next, fill a sink with about four inches of hot water. Add a tablespoon of dish soap and two tablespoons of bleach or baking soda and vinegar. Place the hose in the sink and twist it to clean the inside. Then, empty the sink and run clean water through the hose to rinse it out. Hang the hose up to 1/2 inch of water.
