If it smells unpleasant, you want to leave a space as quickly as possible, and if you actually have to stay in that room for a long time, it is nice if it smells pleasant again.\n\nBut don&#8217;t worry, we have a number of options to make the room smell nice again.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I remove an unpleasant smell?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ventilate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nThe first thing that is useful to do when a room smells unpleasant is to ventilate it. Open a window or a door for a moment and let the breeze blow through. This should already make the musty smell disappear a little and bring fresh air into the room again.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h3>Duftst\u00e4bchen<\/h3> If the room is not too large (about 20 square meters), fragrance sticks also work well to fill a room with a pleasant scent in a very convenient way. To do this, place the fragrance sticks in a place where children or animals cannot easily reach them and remove the cap. Screw on the decorative cap and start with 4 sticks. If it doesn&#8217;t smell enough with 4 sticks, add more sticks after a day until they give off sufficient fragrance. Fragrance sticks are available from us in a number of scents.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Roomspray If the room is well ventilated or it is not possible to ventilate the room, use a room spray. With a roomspray, the room smells nice again in no time. Spray the room 2 to 4 times with a scent of your choice and you will enjoy the space again. A room spray is great for use in a holiday bungalow, hotel room, bedroom, bathroom, infrared sauna, steam cabin, beauty salon, massage salon, toilet, etc. We have many different scents available in our room sprays. With 1 bottle of 100 ml room spray, you can spray approximately 100 times.: <h2><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.benc.nl\/de\/dufte\/\" title=\"Duftst\u00e4bchen\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Duftst\u00e4bchen\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.benc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/vanilla-sbfs-150ml-3.jpg\"\/><\/figure><\/a><\/h2><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.benc.nl\/de\/aromastone.html\" title=\"Duftstein\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Duftstein\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.benc.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/removing-a-musty-smell-02.jpg\"\/><\/figure><\/a><\/h2><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Roomspray If the room is well ventilated or it is not possible to ventilate the room, use a room spray.

You can choose to hide the aroma stones behind a toilet brush or behind the clothes in your wardrobe. But you can also choose to place them in a more prominent spot, such as on your bedside table. They look quite nice, so both are possible. Method: place the aroma stone in a spot that feels comfortable to you. Drop 2 to 4 drops onto the aroma stone and leave it there. The porous stone absorbs the scent and releases it into the room, covering an area of \u200b\u200bapproximately 6 square meters. After a week, the scent may have faded somewhat. If so, place a few drops on the aroma stone again and enjoy the delightful fragrance once more. <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.benc.nl\/de\/atherisches-ol\/\" title=\"View our essential oil diffuser collection here\">View essential oil diffuser<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.benc.nl\/de\/atherisches-ol\/\">Buy essential oil cheaply<\/a> Tips: It is helpful to continue using the same scent on the aroma stone because residues of the scent will always have been absorbed into the stone. The aroma stones can be washed in the dishwasher, but with a strong scent, the fragrance will not come out as well as with a light scent.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h3>Aroma Burner<\/h3> An aroma burner is suitable for a larger space than an aroma stone and fragrance sticks. Because the fragrance is heated, an aroma burner can fill even a living room with a wonderful scent. When choosing an aroma burner, it is advisable to opt for one with a large container so that the fragrance does not burn.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Roomspray If the room is well ventilated or it is not possible to ventilate the room, use a room spray.

This can cause a musty odor to linger. Examples could be a sewer smell or the smell of frying oil from the chip shop on the corner. These odors can often only be removed structurally. Therefore, it is better to hire a contractor to resolve the issue structurally.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nIt is not always external odors that cause a musty smell in the room. For example, old steam cabins can always be enhanced with more fragrance to mask another odor, but after 20 years of intensive use, a better option might be to replace the steam cabin.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ventilation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\nIn the bathroom, ventilation is a way to prevent mold from forming as quickly.
