How to make your room smell fresh

9th February 2022
"Your room should ideally be a place of peace and comfort."

Your room should ideally be a place of peace and comfort. However, it's difficult to feel at ease if odors acquire in your rooms. Traditional air fresheners are frequently loaded with toxic chemicals that are harmful to health.

Here are some natural ways to freshen up your room:

Open the Windows

Opening the windows and letting the sunlight and fresh air in is the quickest way to a fresh-smelling room.

Unless you live near a busy highway or an industrial area, the air quality inside your home is likely to be lower than outside.

Make it a habit to open your bedroom windows every morning for as long as the weather and privacy allow.

Your room will smell better, and you'll get a dose of energy-boosting morning sunlight.

Clean the bed

Once a week, wash your sheets and pillowcases, and at least once a season, clean your comforter (every 3 months).

If you don't wash your bedding regularly, it can become odorous.

Clean, soft bed sheets are extremely comfortable, but they absorb a significant amount of bodily oils, fluids, and shed skin particles each night.

This not only keeps your room smelling fresh but also keeps your skin looking great.

Freshen the Carpet

Carpet is the most popular choice for bedroom flooring for obvious reasons—comfortable it's to walk on, muffles sound and temperature swings, and adds a significant amount of visual impact to your bedroom's décor.

However, carpet tends to hold bacteria, mold, pollen, and grunge from your feet or the bottoms of your shoes. Those nasties can produce a foul odor over time.

Pet accident

Even the best-behaved pets can have mishaps. The smell of an accident, whether it's a hidden one or one that you clean up right away, can linger for weeks or even months.

Pet urine can seep into the carpet padding and cause mildew or mold growth if left too long.

Clean the dust

Dead skin, pollen, pet hair and dander, insects, insect droppings, and dirt are all common components of dust.

And that's only the beginning. Dust not only makes your room look and feel dirty, but it also degrades the quality of your air and can give off a musty odor.

Tips for choosing pot for your houseplants

15th December 2020
"Choose the pot that suits your style and gives positive vibes."

Houseplants are the best and liveliest option for decorating your house. There are plenty of options for pots from clay pots to ceramics and plastic pots, you can choose the one you like and prefer. With cute and beautiful houseplants with beautiful pots, you can bring positive vibrance to your house. Let's look at some tips for choosing pots for your houseplants. 

Size

The size of the pot depends upon the size or type of plant you are planning to plant. If you are planning for smaller plants that barely grow like cactus, you can go with smaller sized pots. And if you are planning to get a ZZ plant or pothos, then make sure to buy a bigger one and change the pot to a bigger size in bigger diameter as the plant keeps on growing.

However, excessively big pots can look unproportioned and can cause several health problems to the plant as the soil will dry out easily. 

Drainage

The plant needs a proper drainage hole to release excess water. Having a drainage hole will help you ensure that the soil won't stay wet for a longer period of time. The excess water can freely release from the drainage holes letting your plant roots get the oxygen. Moreover, if you use a saucer or pan beneath the pot, then ensure to empty it to prevent the roots from soaking in too much moisture. 

Type of pot

There are basically 3 different types of pot i.e. ceramics pot, plastic pot, and clay pot. Currently, the ceramic pot is quite an on-trend because of its availability in different shapes, styles, and colors. Clay pots are quite heavy and cheap and are best for heavy plants. And, the most convenient one is a plastic pot, which is easily available at a reasonable price in different shapes, designs, and colors. You can choose the type of pot you want as per the feel and look you desire. 

Designs 

As for the design, go after your preference. You may choose the plain pots with little to no design, or some minimalistic designs, or some detailed designs as well. You can also customize your own pots. 

Keep it clean

Dirty and unhygienic pots may cause different problems to the plant. The plant leaves may dry out, or different black spots may form, or the plant may suffer from other various kinds of problems if the pot is not clean. Moreover, if you plan on reusing the pots, then clean the pot inside out. Normally, it is difficult to clean a clay pot,  but with the help of a bristle brush or steel-wood pad, you can clean off the white marks easily.

Bad Household Habits to Stop Now

12th December 2021
"Home is the place we live throughout our life and in order to make our environment healthy, our home should be kept clean and healthy."

Home is the place we live throughout our life and in order to make our environment healthy, our home should be kept clean and healthy.

We all have bad habits and among them in this article, we will talk about different types of household habits that should be stopped right now:

Rinsing food down the sink

Washing away excess food down the sink before doing the dishes is an easy habit to get into but this is a really bad habit that can clog up your drain and cause blockages.

Instead, scrape any leftover food into the bin before washing the dishes – it might be more time-consuming, but it’s better than dealing with the sink filled with foods.

Leaving dishes to soak in the sink

Dishes

We all have a habit of leaving dishes in the sink for a long time. Leaving dishes in there for too long can allow the bacteria to grow on those.

Bacteria that you will be consuming later on. So to avoid this you really need to stop this habit of leaving dishes in the sink for a long period of time.

Painting over rusty railings

Rust

Another habit we have is painting over the rust. If the railings in your garden or balcony are starting to rust, applying a fresh coat of paint directly over them won’t solve the problem.

This is because rust prevents new paint from taking hold, so you’ll need to scrape it off and start from scratch.

Not cleaning the TV remote

Remote

This one is all too easy to forget but when you think about the number of times your TV remote is touched every day, it makes sense to clean it every week or on alternative days.

All you need to do is remove the batteries, then use a cloth and rubbing alcohol to clean all over the remote. If there’s dirt wedged in the gaps around the buttons, use a toothpick to remove it.

Not wiping door handles

Door handles

When we clean our homes, we forget about the door handles. It is constantly used throughout the day and touched by every family member so it might carry harmful microbes.

It is obvious that diseases bacteria transfer from one person to another. You need to keep germs in check by remembering to disinfect your door handles at the end of every day.

Forgetting to clean stove knobs

This is the most neglected thing by us. We all need to keep in mind that the dials are regularly splattered with food and touched frequently between preparations.

So it is very necessary to give them a thorough clean. All you need to do is remove the knobs and wash them in hot soapy water.
