Eliminate Old House Smell: Michelle’s Success with Scent Fill

Last year my husband and I purchased our first home. It is an absolutely adorable craftsman built in the late 1920s. We knew the house would need some updating which we have been doing slowly as time and funds allow but the one thing that we needed to address immediately was the “Old house smell”. You know what we’re talking about, right? It’s that stale, musty odor that seems ever-present the instant you set foot inside an older home. Whether by age or climate a stale-smelling living space is always a no-go.

We did all the usual must-do’s after getting the keys to our new home to eliminate old house smell, we opened up the windows and aired the place out. We deep cleaned all the floors of the house including the attic, basement, and all the air ducts. We were pretty successful at airing the place out but there was a scent we couldn’t quite eradicate it wasn’t mold or mildew or anything that could be pinpointed per se it was simply the age.

The house was over 100 years old and there is simply a hundred years’ worth of lived history within the walls, the floors, and the fixtures of this house. In the inspection we discovered there had been a kitchen fire sometime in the home's history and a very slight almost imperceptible acrid smell could be sensed whenever you were in the kitchen long enough. The well-worn wood floors had seen the footsteps of countless barefoot summer days and snow boot winters.

As much as I appreciate this history academically, in the end, you want your home to look feel, and yes even smell like YOUR home. Thankfully Scent Fill came to the rescue yet again with a trio of products that let us hit the reset button on our home and start fresh.

This was the first product we used. The unique, air freshener is one-of-a-kind in its ability to actually eliminate unpleasant odors, rather than cover them up with fragrance like most other air fresheners on the market today. ScentDiffuse™ bonds with and neutralizes malodor molecules, rendering them permanently undetectable. Eliminates virtually 100% of malodor permanently.

How Scent Fill Eliminates Persistent Old House Smells

Scent Fill has 3 different categories of ScentDiffuse™ General Deodorizers, Smoke Deodorizers*and lastly Pet Deodorizers. For our kitchen we picked up the ScentDiffuse™ Smoke Away Deodorizer - this product combats the strong, stale malodor left behind by smoke. Scents of natural orange peel, eucalyptus, green cardamom, and patchouli oils combine for a sweet, earthy, herbal fragrance, that quickly eliminated the long-present smell of smoke damage.

Effective Solutions to Neutralize Old House Odors with Scent Fill

Once we had successfully eliminated the odors from our home we started fresh by using Scent Fills 100% Natural Lavender Essential Oil Plugin. We immediately noticed the difference, now our home smelled of genuine English lavender. The full-bodied presence of this scent worked perfectly in both the larger rooms of the home as well in small rooms. I couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming scent in our new home.

Thank you for reading, I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season please check back for more reviews and lists in the coming weeks! Until then have a Merry Christmas!
