Combating a stinky house.

Hi everyone,

I need help keeping my house smelling generally not bad, good even. I rent a small house and it’s my first time being in charge of my own home. I am a clean person and find cleaning to be relaxing and get stressed out by it feeling dirty. Despite that, the house just never smells good. It usually smells embarrassingly stinky.

We have 3 cats and a small dog (9lbs and potty trained) which of course contributes to the smell. We have hardwood and one tiny carpet under our coffee table. Our couch is new so it doesn’t harbor any stink. Of course the litterboxes are cleaned every day. I try to open windows and air the house out as much as possible, but we live in Texas so that’s been difficult to do the last few months.

How do you all do it? Any tips that greatly improved your homes general aroma? Is there a cleaning regiment or product you suggest? I will take any and all advice.

Thank you in advance!
