Aroma creates a special atmosphere in a home. However, unpleasant, musty odors often spoil the overall impression of a home. They definitely don't add to comfort and coziness - no matter how much you dust or mop the floor, you can't do without effective solutions.

Social media is full of cleaning hacks - and there are quick and effective tips that are game-changers. This is especially true if you are constantly spending money on expensive - and sometimes toxic - air fresheners.

A TikTok video posted by cleaning specialist Chantelle Mila shows an incredibly simple trick to freshen up a room.

Take some cotton balls and add some essential oil. Mint, citrus, and floral scents will be the most effective. Since the scents are quite strong, do not soak or oversaturate the cotton.

Then simply throw the scented cotton balls into a dust container and start vacuuming your home. The effect will be instantaneous. This is caused by the warm air passing through the canister, which essentially helps to evaporate the fragrances in the air.

Empty the container with the cotton balls. This quick life hack will help you clean your floor and freshen the air at the same time.

Important note: Be careful if you have pets. Some essential oils can be toxic.

The old "grandmotherly" method will help clean furniture: pour water into a container, add a few tablespoons of baking soda and a drop of dishwashing detergent. Soak a cloth or towel in the water and wipe the surfaces.

If you have washed the fridge and thrown away the leftovers, but the unpleasant odor remains, you can use a life hack with ground coffee. Pour ground coffee into a shallow saucer and leave it in the refrigerator. Coffee acts as an absorbent - there will be no trace of odors.
