There's nothing better than coming home and being greeted by a pleasant aroma, don't you think? However, sometimes it's bad odors that greet us when we open the door. Bad smells emanating from the dishwasher and washing machine, stale, musty laundry, smelly drains, etc - these are just some of the sources of bad smells in our homes.

There are several products that can help you combat bad smells developing in your home, and we describe 8 of these below!

1. Air fresheners and fabric sprays

There are many air fresheners on the market, and some of these sprays allow you also perfume fabrics such as curtains, carpets and sofas. Choose one with all-natural ingredients or make your own with a scent of your choice. It will be very simple to make using distilled water, baking soda and an essential oil of your choice (or use water, alcohol and essential oils).

2. Wet wipes

Wet wipes are a very valuable ally when it comes to removing dirt quickly and leaving a pleasant scent in the home. Choose wipes made with natural products or make your own at home. Get some paper towels, water, a vegetable oil, a mild liquid soap and an essential oil; if you want a sanitizing effect, choose tea tree oil.

3. Toilet cleaning discs

Have you given up trying to perfume your toilet? Don't give up - choose these gel discs! They must be applied directly to the inner wall of the toilet and they release a pleasant scent for a long time, cleaning the bowl with each flush.

4. Scented bag for the bath or shower

Treat yourself to a moment of true relaxation by adding a scented sachet to your shower or bathtub. Prepared with herbs and essential oils, they naturally release a pleasant smell and you can also make your own according to your mood or needs. For a relaxing moment, for example, choose lavender, while if you want a boost of energy, choose citrus fruits. For a beneficial action on the respiratory tract, choose eucalyptus.

If the bad smell comes from your dishwasher or washing machine, maybe it's time to think about cleaning them. Do an empty wash with an appropriate product or do it yourself using baking soda, vinegar and lemon: you will find that your dishwasher and washing machine will smell like new again. Add half a lemon to the dishwasher basket when washing; your dishes will be cleaner and the dishwasher will be more fragrant. In the washing machine, you can insert a piece of fabric with a few drops of essential oil on it into the drum.
