Cupboards can accumulate foul odours, especially if they house dirty laundry. To combat this, keep doors open, wash laundry regularly, and use a NODO odour absorber.

The entryway, with its smelly shoes and wet coats, can also smell bad. In addition to regular tidying, spray NODO inside shoes and use an odour absorber for a welcoming entrance.

Mold odours in your bathroom? Spray the affected areas with NODO, wait an hour, then wipe with a sponge and warm water.

 

Odour in the washing machine 🧼👃

Unfortunately, front-loading washing machines are known for their tendency to smell bad if not properly maintained. Moisture gets trapped in the door seal and detergent drawer, causing smelly mold. Here are some tips to eliminate washing machine odours:

  • After running a wash cycle, leave the door and detergent drawer slightly open so the washer can dry completely.
  • If you still detect a foul odour, incorporate NODO odour neutralizer into your washer's liquid soap dispenser and run a sanitary cycle without clothes.

Cooking odours can be stubborn. To neutralize these odours, boil a mixture of water and NODO in a 5 to 1 ratio, then turn off the burner. If the odour persists, repeat the process.

Dogs can contribute to house odour. Add NODO to their bath for a fresh smell, and spray their favourite resting spots for a pleasant-smelling home.

There you have it, now you know how to remove odours from your home! For lasting freshness, choose NODO!
