What is the source of this smell?
A strong bad smell permeates your home. What could be the cause?
We found the causes of odors in the kitchen, bathroom, and living room.
 
1_Kitchen odor is caused by food waste.
The smell in the kitchen is mainly due to food. Especially, the sink area often smells bad,
as food waste accumulates in the drain, dishes are left in the sink for a long time,
and scale or mold grows in the sink, making it easy for odors to appear.
Trash cans that collect food waste also often smell.
The waste accumulated for disposal at once rots and smells.
Also, food-stained garbage is thrown in the kitchen trash can, causing a bad smell,
and food stains on the sink or gas stove smell.
Leaving wet dishcloths or aprons as they are, or not ventilating the kitchen after cooking,
can cause the smell of food to linger.
2_Bathroom odor is caused by dirt on the toilet.
Bathroom odor usually comes from the toilet. When dirt gets on the toilet bowl or the cover after using the toilet,
it smells. If you leave toilet paper that you used to wipe after using the bathroom in the bathroom trash can for a long time, it will smell bad,
 
If hair is tangled in the drain, it will smell like rotten water.
The bathroom may smell like water if it is not properly ventilated after showering,
and a musty smell can occur if wet towels or mops are left behind.
3_Living room odor is caused by everyday dirt.
Various smells can mix in the living room, making it easy for strange smells to appear.
Dust accumulates on the sofa, carpets, and curtains, creating a musty smell, and food smells, cigarette smells, etc., can permeate, creating a bad smell.
The front entrance is also a culprit of living room odor. Shoes soaked in sweat are left scattered in front of the entrance, making the smell of shoes permeate.
If mold on the living room walls or floor is not removed, a musty smell can occur,
and if water collects in the flowerpot tray, it may smell like rotten water.
