Stale smells

[Patti291]

When my house stays empty it smells stale. What can I do besides burning candles?

Sounds like the house could benefit from a bit of air circulation. If it's a 2-story house, it might help to crack a window open just slightly. I say 2nd story for security reasons. If you have a programmable thermostat or one you can access with an app, you can periodically turn on the fan to circulate air too. All of this assumes there is no offending smell in the house that you have to search for and obliterate.

@Patti291, you could try to put some  vinegar in a couple of bowls

Make sure it’s distilled white vinegar. And, yes, it really works!!!

Pop some Baking Soda in the drains to rid bathrooms of any lingering smells.
