We’ve all been there. You’ve come home and opened the door to a blast of—what even is that? Orange Chicken? It doesn’t matter, it just needs to go. Give those foul smell the boot with these 7 tips:
1. Open a window
As long as the weather cooperates, your place will be in prime condition in no time.
2. Febreze
However, be careful of your roomie’s feelings on this one—it’s not so subtle. If she says anything, just pull a Taylor Swift and respond with, “Look what you made me do.”
3. Candles
Try to not set off any fire alarms, though. Nobody needs extra stairs in their lives.
4. Wax melters
They have the same effect as a candle—minus the burning-the-building-down part. It’s a win-win.
5. Plug-in fragrances
Just so we’re clear, going into Bath & Body Works for only one scent is not a thing—be prepared to leave with at least four. (Side note: If you don’t buy the new “Pumpkin Pecan Waffles” from this fall’s line, you’re doing it wrong.)
6. Invest in nose plugs
If the scent won’t leave, let it stay.
7. Hide all the weird food
She can’t make the spring rolls if she can’t find them. Think about it…
Living with roommates can be tricky, especially if they have different interests and living habits than you. However, if you take time to resolve the issues and accommodate each other, you can definitely make it work. If not, it’s never too late to purchase those nose plugs.
