Dry Mist Liquid - Harvard Chemical "Cinnamon"

But before ordering a service, everyone wants to understand what it is - “Dry Fog”? In our case, this is the name given to the product Odor Destroyers, which is produced in the USA by Harvard Chemical Research, founded in Atlanta in 1986. Liquid for Dry Fog consists of aliphatic hydrocarbons with the addition of 10% aromatic substances. The liquid is intended for use through a special Fogger (in other words, an evaporator). Dry fog is absolutely safe for people and animals. Due to its propagation properties in confined spaces, Dry Fog has permeability characteristics comparable to smoke: it penetrates 99% into all cavities, cracks in a room or car. Dry Fog neutralizes unpleasant odors that have managed to “hide” and become ingrained in the most inaccessible places. After treatment, it leaves only freshness, well-groomed and elegant aroma.

How to get rid of smell in the refrigerator?

We have significant experience removing odors from spoiled food in homes and cars.

Our technology for getting rid of rotten smell is divided into 2 stages:

Stage 1: Needs processing freezer or surfaces that have come into contact with spoiled food, an antiseptic solution from Harvard Chemical Research - D-Cide. This product will stop the rotting process and kill bacteria. Residual odor from the surface is removed by treatment with the product Skunk-Out.

Stage 2: We remove odors that have been absorbed into the interior of a room or car using Dry Fog with the aroma of “Cinnamon”.

* The first stage is carried out as necessary and is not mandatory. Consult our specialist!

I wanted to cover this topic a little later, but today I had to communicate with a woman who seemed to say with her smell: come on, Marina, it’s time for this article! I think it’s already clear what we’re going to talk about: bad odors.

Everyone smells

There are smells that we may not smell for the simple reason that they come from us. And I’m not talking now about pheromones or other smell-signals that can only be picked up by the subconscious of another person - I’m talking about unpleasant and quite noticeable odors that our body emits.

However, due to the fact that it is our body, we cannot smell some smells. Firstly, because they are “native” to us, and secondly, because these smells accompany us almost always and the nose has long adapted to them. It’s like people whose apartment stinks very much of cat urine or rotten food, after some time they stop noticing these odors and believe that there is no smell in the apartment.

Every person has their own smell - we all know this, but sometimes a very strong component of it is the smell of sweat or bad breath (). Or worse. But a person may not notice this, and lives as he lives, while other people try, if possible, to avoid close communication with him and wash his bones behind his back.

Down with cuteness

The worst thing is when a girl smells bad. If we are somehow already accustomed to thinking that men are more pigs than we are, then we girls are not allowed to smell bad. Especially if we want to be called .

And this is not a case where you can not worry about your smell until people hint you about the problem. It is important to remember that human odor is an extremely sensitive topic, and it is easier to tell a person something like: “Hey, you fat ass, stop eating!” than to at least hint to him that he stinks.

You've probably ever communicated or just been next to a person who smells bad? Then you know what kind of torment it is when you can’t tell him anything about his problem, and you just stand there, can’t concentrate on the conversation, try not to breathe and want to run away as quickly as possible. And then you tell your friends in vivid colors how terrible it was. Because to say to the person himself: “You see, you stink!” - this is the height of cruelty.

So, if you have such a problem, no one will tell you about it.

What do you smell like?

Nobody wants to be in the shoes of such a person, right? Then how to tell if you smell bad , if there is practically no opportunity to feel own smell in normal condition? Obviously: bring your nose to the place where the “hot spots” are located, which are the armpits, soles of the feet, crotch and mouth.

You can conduct one experiment if there is no one nearby and you have not just come from the bathroom. Right now you are sitting/lying and reading this article, and it seems to you that you don’t smell of anything. Smell each of the following lesions in turn:

  1. Stick your nose deep into your armpit (freed from clothing) and suck in air.
  2. Then a little acrobatics: we bring our bare foot up to our nose and find out what it smells like (or you can do the same with the tights or stockings you wore during the day).
  3. How to determine your breath odor? Of course, you can’t put your nose in your mouth, but the following will help you understand what your breath smells like: stick out your tongue strongly and with the part closest to your throat, confidently and forcefully lick your wrist. And smell it after a few seconds - this is what your breath smells like.
  4. With the perineum, everything is also more complicated than with the leg and armpit: if you are a yogi - sincere congratulations, and otherwise you will have to turn to your underwear in order to find out how your place smells, which in theory should not smell at all.

I know these actions may seem strange. Especially for the person who suddenly walks into the room and finds you sniffing your own foot)) But seriously, each of us better be sure that there is nothing to worry about and that we are not emitting unpleasant odors, making people around us feel bad and think bad about us.

By the way, the problem can be not only with the smell, but also with wet spots in the armpits (who among us is not familiar with this...). It was hot, I was in a hurry, a light blouse... They save me in such cases these are the pads— stuck on the sleeves from the inside of the clothes and you don’t have to worry (just don’t use them for transparent clothes).

Why does a person smell bad?

The reason for the unpleasant smell may not be that the day before the person ran a five-kilometer obstacle course and did not bother to wash. It’s just that our bodies, through accessible exits, remove impurities, toxins and other waste from the body, which, of course, do not smell like cornflowers.

So anyone can stink without noticing it. And one more thing: when we still feel that we smell (I haven’t washed my clothes for a long time, spent the whole day at the dacha or played sports) - so, remember that at such moments we smell much stronger than we think. Therefore, you don’t need to think that if you feel that it’s time to wash your clothes, then only you feel it.

Our lifestyle plays a big role in the intensity and vileness of the smell: what we eat, how much clean water we drink, whether we smoke or use any chemicals, how often we wash. And also – are we healthy? For example, the sweat of a healthy person who does not smoke, drinks a lot of water and eats right may have virtually no odor. As for the mouth, what is also important is whether our teeth are healthy and whether we clean them and the oral cavity as a whole correctly.

What to do if an enemy is detected?

If you've done the experiment described above and found that some part of your body smells unsatisfactory, it's time to think about whether something needs to be adjusted in your lifestyle.

  1. First of all, of course, you need to pay more attention to hygiene (), wash more often and more thoroughly.
  2. You need to wash your clothes more often and change your underwear every day.
  3. Take care of your health: with the help good doctors cure sores. Problems with gastrointestinal tract.
  4. Adjust your menu. If you constantly eat fries, burgers, smoked ribs, chips, bagels, Snickers and drink soda, your smell has no chance of being pleasant.
  5. Deodorants are already a last resort, because they only mask the problem and do not solve it. In addition, most deodorants can be harmful to you if used frequently. But they will also work as a temporary solution.
  6. And we also had an article somewhere about unpleasant foot odor... Oh,

Have you noticed that all houses and apartments smell different? Some people are knocked off their feet by the stale smell of cigarette smoke right from the door, while others are greeted by the smell of freshly brewed coffee and home-baked goods.

Have you noticed that all houses and apartments smell different?

Some people are knocked off their feet by the stale smell of cigarette smoke right from the door, while others are greeted by the smell of freshly brewed coffee and home-baked goods.

We remove unpleasant odors from everywhere.

Fresh aroma

Before you start vacuuming, soak a piece of cotton wool with a few drops of lavender and suck it up with the vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner will leave a delicate “Provençal” aroma everywhere along its route. The aroma can be replaced with your favorite one - for example, orange oil will add a fresh citrus scent, pine oil will create the cool atmosphere of a shady pine forest.

Clean refrigerator

Moisten with 1 drop essential oil lavender and 1 drop of lemon oil, a porous stone made of baked clay or ordinary gauze (in this case, the essential oils will evaporate faster) and place them on the refrigerator door. Renew essential oils periodically.

Fresh trash can

Wash and dry your trash bin, place 1 drop of lavender oil and 1 drop of tea tree oil on an incense stone, piece of gauze or cotton swab and place in the bottom.

How to “refresh” a microwave

Place 3 drops of lemon or mint essential oil into a container of water. Leave for 3 minutes.

Fragrant toilet

Use a small shelf where you can put 2-3 aroma stones the size of small cookies. Apply lavender, ylang-ylang or pine oils to the stones. Update them every week. This will fill the toilet with a delicate scent and improve the atmosphere.

Nice underwear

There are 2 ways: either you add a terry mitten to the clothes dryer, onto which you drip 7 drops of lavender, mint, rose or eucalyptus (or any other oil of your choice), or add 3 drops of the same oils to the water to add to the iron.

Essential oils are non-greasy and will not stain your laundry.

Any surfaces

Add 30 drops of lavender, tea tree and/or lemon oil (30 drops total, not each) to 1 liter of vinegar. Shake well. This simple and economical composition perfectly cleans and disinfects any surfaces. Wipe ashtrays with the same composition.

Descaling and unpleasant odors in the sink, sink, bathtub, pots, electric kettle

Use the above composition (to clean and disinfect any surfaces): synthetic vinegar - the best remedy to remove scale. It is more effective when heated, so you can easily pour the liquid into a kettle of boiling water and leave it to “infuse” for a few minutes to an hour. Your kettle will be in immaculate condition and without a single germ - thanks to essential oils. By pouring a few drops of the composition into the pipe of the kitchen sink and draining the bathtub, and then running a stream of boiling water from the tap for a few minutes, you will get rid of the unpleasant odor from there.

Room deodorant

Pour a few drops of your favorite oil (mint, orange, cedar, sandalwood) into a spray bottle of water. Shake well and spray the room. The same effect is achieved by adding inexpensive perfumes with aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate and other goodies. Repeat 2-3 times a week. This will also help get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke or burnt food (combine with pre-ventilation).

And we’ll get rid of insects too

Rather than using toxic insecticides that are harmful to both humans and pets, which also smell bad, it is better to spray essential oils in the air - lavender, cedar or eucalyptus. Don't have a sprayer? Then add a few drops to the container with hot water or even pieces of cotton wool and place them around the room.

There is no doubt that every good housewife does everything possible to make her home smell clean and fresh. However, sometimes it happens that, despite all efforts, a bad “smell” appears in the house. The reasons for this can be completely different. But regardless of what caused such a nuisance, we are interested in one thing: how to remove an unpleasant smell in an apartment at home. First, you should figure out whose wine has an unpleasant aroma.

Before you start fighting odors, you need to find the root of these troubles. Who would like it if when entering home, he will feel a stench. So, what could be the source of bad odors?

  1. Kitchen.
    Sometimes the aromas come from this very room. Why? The fact is that this is where most food products are stored, including those that quickly spoil and can emit odors. Maybe something was left in the refrigerator a little and was not discovered in time. The unpleasant smell of spoiled food will spread throughout the house very quickly.
    The stench may also come from the trash can. And for this it is not necessary to “store” the garbage for several days. If some strong-smelling waste got into the bucket yesterday, then in the morning there will be a strong smell. It is important to monitor how often the garbage is taken out of the apartment and how thoroughly the bin is washed afterwards.
  2. The bathroom is a source of smell.
    If your apartment is poorly heated, hand and body towels may take quite a long time to dry. All this contributes to the formation of dampness and the corresponding smell. This problem can even occur where the heat is too hot and condensation forms very abundantly, creating additional moisture.
  3. Toilet.
    Sometimes an unpleasant odor is formed here not only because of the toilet. Some families in which smokers live suffer from smoke. When there are no balconies, lazy family members do not go outside or into the entrance to smoke, poisoning the fresh air in your apartment and giving an unpleasant odor to the entire home.
    If there is an ashtray in the toilet, then a foul aroma may come from there. It is important to empty it and wash it regularly.
  4. Linen closet.
    When your clothes are not used for a long time, they develop a bad smell. Of course, the unpleasant aroma does not always come from there, but it is still quite possible. This can especially happen if some worn and unwashed item gets into the clean clothes.
  5. The smell may come from pets.
    Moreover, this happens not only when an unclean animal has done its work on your favorite carpet. If a dog or cat has not been bathed for a long time, their fur may emit a bad odor.
  6. The smell can lurk in small things.
    This includes rags for the floor, accessories for washing dishes and cleaning the house. Also, the smell may appear simply because a sufficient amount of clean air does not enter the apartment. Because of this, you need to look into the vents to make sure they are functioning properly.

Having considered the main causes of odors, it is worth learning how to remove unpleasant odors in the apartment. There are several basic principles of struggle:

  • mechanical method;
  • chemical;
  • traditional methods.

You should consider these methods in order and then you will see that achieving freshness in your home is not at all difficult.

To put an end to the unpleasant smell in your apartment, you need to start somewhere. Sometimes, in order to achieve freshness and cleanliness in the house for a long time, it is enough to simply ventilate the room well. Of course, if there is severe frost outside, this is not entirely relevant, but without a good flow of fresh air, all measures will be useless.

Ventilate rooms one at a time. This will make it easier to keep warm. If weather conditions permit, open all the windows in the apartment at once. This way your home will be filled sooner fresh air. If you are thinking about how to remove an unpleasant smell in an apartment folk remedies after repairs, ventilation is one of the first and most important conditions for success.

If this method does not help, or the unpleasant odor returns, there is something else you need to do.

Imagine this situation: you suddenly found out that you will have guests any minute. But freshness in the room, in your opinion, is not enough. What should I do? In these situations, special chemicals or air fresheners can help. Such aerosols will help kill the unpleasant odor very quickly.

Important! Most chemicals are excellent at eliminating odors. However, after a few hours or even minutes, the unpleasant smell will appear again. This is worth considering before using such air fresheners. Also, if an asthmatic or a person with respiratory diseases lives in the house, it is better to avoid using such products.

When using store-bought air fresheners, you should understand that the vast majority of them do not destroy the odor itself or eliminate its cause. Simply, the aroma of the spray is added to the unpleasant odor and a certain mixture is obtained that does not seem so foul to a person. However, the bacteria that causes the odor still hangs around in the air and harms your body.

Therefore, it is very important to know about methods to control the source of the odor. This will help not only to protect yourself, but also to permanently destroy the unpleasant aroma.

We need to consider what exist simple recipes how to quickly remove an unpleasant smell from an apartment.

apah is a specific sensation of the presence of volatile aromatic substances in the air, detected by chemical olfactory receptors located in the nasal cavity of animals and humans (from Wikipedia).

Smell of the Soul

In general, everything is clear. Certain odorous molecules present in the air and entering the receptors located in the nose transmit information about the nature and strength of the odor to the brain, where it is analyzed. Then, if a particular smell is already known, the brain concludes that it is, say, the aroma of ripe raspberries.

Why are some people good at recognizing and analyzing odors, while others are not so good? This is also clear - the level of perception and quality of analysis of odors is influenced by such parameters as: the degree of development of receptors, characteristics of the limbic system (a set of a number of brain structures), age characteristics, mental level, individual experience.

The perception of odors is also influenced by hormonal background. This is also why the endocrine system includes organs that are in one way or another connected with the imagination - the pituitary gland and the pineal gland. Serious hormonal imbalance, which is observed with advanced spoilage, can lead to disturbances in the perception of odors and, accordingly, to their incorrect analysis. In most cases, this is precisely what is associated with the appearance of “obsessive unpleasant odors” in the spoiled symptoms themselves, and not at all with mental problems.

However, if we are talking about smell as an objective, purely physical phenomenon, then why not admit the presence of a metaphysical smell? And there really is such a “smell”. In this case, we are not talking about the same molecules present in the air. Perhaps there is something similar to “molecules”, but they are definitely not in the air, but in a different, metaphysical environment.

All objects and beings located on the physical plane of existence and possessing characteristics known on this same plane, at the same time have numerous additional characteristics that appear only on other planes.

This idea is prompted by the analysis of “smells” when working with damage and the transfer of essence. The “smell” of spoilage is sour, like that of spoiled food. When the essence and obsession are added, the “smell” of decomposition is sharper, with an admixture of sulfur (that’s what wet matches smell like).

On the physical plane, no smell may be felt; in this case, we are talking about smell as a metaphysical phenomenon. People obsessed with money as a mania smell of sour stench and fear. This is the smell of those who are ready for meanness, betrayal, and lies for the sake of money. Stingy and envious people “smell” of stale old things, junk, mold. Those who are bewitched exude a sweetish, cloying, haunting aroma, similar to the smell of incense and funerals. When disembodied entities (dead but not laid to rest) move in, the smell of carrion, rancid perfume, fumes, and rotted rags is often felt.

All these, and many other “smells” are felt on a subconscious level, making their way through any, even expensive, perfume. By the way, additional information in the form of a metaphysical smell gives the diagnostic specialist another opportunity to clarify the diagnosis. What exactly are we dealing with in this case - is it just household damage or professionally done? In the latter case (especially when removed), the smell of “quiet” damp earth and rotten leaves is often felt, which in terms of the physical smell is very reminiscent of a cemetery.

Can a metaphysical (non-molecular) smell be noticeable to others? Obviously yes. Every person is a little psychic, in that very “animal”, pre-civilization sense. And everyone has a subconscious that continuously analyzes, without sleep or rest, hundreds and thousands of parameters of the physical and non-physical planes of existence. A person who has serious disorders in the form of damage, addiction or obsession turns out to be “calculated” by many people around him by analyzing metaphysical characteristics. Including non-molecular odor.

Of course, this quite often leads to problems associated with loneliness. Another aspect is that such a person “attracts” someone similar to himself, according to the same characteristics. Those. the corrupted person has a better chance of finding mutual understanding with the corrupted one, and the possessed person has a better chance of finding mutual understanding with the possessed person. It turns out that a serious energy disturbance seems to push a person out of a society of energetically pure (relatively, of course) people. As a consequence, there is a limitation in the circle of contacts and opportunities to get good job, personal and professional development.

To summarize, we can conclude that each person, in addition to the natural physical (molecular) smell, also has a certain metaphysical smell. If the energy is in order, then the metaphysical smell is not at all repulsive. In addition, each person also has a “smell of the soul,” which characterizes his spiritual and moral qualities. Try to catch this “smell of the soul” in one case or another, and you will be convinced that everything written above is fully worthy of attention.
