This is How Foul Odor Affects Us and How You Can Get Rid of It

Did you know that odors around us affects our mood and work performance? According to an article published by Scientific American, the way odor affects us is based on our associative learning. So, a person links one event or item to another on the basis of their past experiences of smell.

For instance, the smell of a room freshener in your office might remind you of a hotel room where you had a wonderful holiday. On the other hand, a foul odor coming from your garbage disposal or from the basement might make you feel like as if you are standing next to a choked sewer system. Plumbers at Mikes Chicago Plumbing, offering emergency plumbing services in Skokie, Chicago, say that the garbage disposal gets choked when people overload it and dispose of very hard items like bones or corn husks. Bacteria feed on this accumulated food and create foul odors.

Moreover, smell elicits an emotional response in us, just like a smell similar to that of a surgical procedure in a hospital makes us anxious.

Impact of a Fresh Smelling House

Who doesn’t like to have good dreams? However, did you know that smell may influence your dreams as well? According to a study published by National Geographic, other than having a strong effect on your emotions when you’re awake, smell has a strong effect on your emotions when you’re asleep too. Pleasant smells are linked to pleasant dreams, while foul odors could lead to nightmares.

Although negative experiences like stress, fear, worry, arguments and other aspects of our days show up in the form of nightmares, similar negative emotions are experienced by a person when they wake up after an unpleasant dream. Bad dreams are more likely to increase anxiety in waking life.

 So, in order to continue your day peacefully and calmly, the best solution sis to ensure that your home smells fresh and pleasant at all times.

Tips to Keep Your House Smell Fresh all the Time

1. Let in Fresh Air: With air conditioners working in most buildings, we have to consciously remember to open our windows and doors to let the fresh air in. When fresh air comes inside your home, it whisks away stale air and any lingering odors. Moreover, if you have a garden nearby or in your backyard, the smell of the flowers will make your day.

2. Deep Clean the Garbage Disposal: When there’s an unpleasant stench wafting from your garbage disposal, it can be nearly impossible to stand in the kitchen and sometimes even stay in the house. Foul odors occur from buildup of food debris within the disposer. Emergency plumbing services in Skokie recommend placing ice cubes and lemon or orange peels in the garbage disposal and running it for 30 seconds. The process should be followed by squirting a little liquid dish washing detergent and running cold water to rinse all the debris away. Call an expert plumber in Skokie if this trick doesn’t work.

3. Simmer a Stove: This is the least expensive way to create your own home fragrance. You just need to take a cup or two of water and add lemon and/or orange peels, and even cloves if you like, and let it simmer for a few hours, adding water when needed. This trick will save you a lot of money, which you would have otherwise spent on expensive candles or diffusers.

You can also use scented cleaning vinegar, fabric spray, deodorizing carpet powder, car air fresheners, DIY scented wax lamps for an immediate effect. Contact emergency plumbing services in Skokie if you are unable to locate the source of the foul smell ruining your home’s ambiance.
