Makes Perfect Scents
Sustainable Strategies to Combat Malodor
Apr 21, 2025

Why choose sustainable solutions for odor control?
Keeping your home smelling fresh doesn’t have to mean using harsh chemicals or artificial sprays. Many traditional air fresheners simply mask bad smells instead of removing them, and they often contain ingredients that can impact indoor air quality.
Sustainable odor solutions focus on removing odors naturally rather than just covering them up. By making small eco-friendly changes—like improving airflow, using natural odor absorbers, and choosing plant-based scents—you can create a home that smells clean without harming the environment.
The right scenting solution, like the Pura Mini™, diffuses long-lasting, clean fragrances without aerosols or synthetic sprays. Pairing sustainable habits with this smart diffuser helps keep your small spaces fresh in a way that’s both effective and environmentally friendly.
Common causes of bad odors
Before tackling odors, it’s important to understand why they happen. Here are a few common reasons smells linger in your home:
-
Poor air circulation: Without fresh air moving through your home, stale smells can build up over time.
-
Moisture buildup: Humid spaces, like bathrooms and basements, often develop musty odors.
-
Absorbed odors in fabrics: Carpets, curtains, and upholstery hold onto smells from pets, food, and everyday activities.
-
Pet and food odors: Strong cooking smells and pet-related scents can stick to furniture and clothing, making them harder to remove.
Once you know where odors are coming from, it’s easier to choose sustainable ways to eliminate them.
Sustainable ways to reduce household odors
Reducing odors naturally doesn’t require expensive products or harsh chemicals. These simple, eco-friendly strategies help combat malodor while keeping your home fresh.
Increase airflow
One of the best ways to remove odors is to bring in fresh air. Opening windows, even for just a few minutes a day, helps replace stale indoor air with clean outdoor air. Using fans near windows or doors can also help push bad odors out.
Use natural odor absorbers
Certain household ingredients naturally absorb and neutralize odors:
-
Baking soda: Works well in trash cans, carpets, and refrigerators.
-
Activated charcoal: Helps trap odors in small spaces, like closets or pet areas.
-
White vinegar: A simple way to eliminate strong food odors in the kitchen.
Placing these odor absorbers in key areas can remove bad smells instead of just covering them up.
Choose eco-friendly cleaning solutions
Many store-bought cleaners contain chemicals that add artificial scents to the air. Instead, try using natural options, like diluted vinegar, lemon juice, or plant-based cleaning products. These work just as well for removing odors without adding unnecessary toxins to your home.
Use a smart diffuser for a clean, long-lasting scent
After removing bad odors, the next step is adding a light, refreshing fragrance. Unlike sprays that only provide a short burst of scent, a smart home diffuser like the Pura Mini™ offers a consistent fragrance throughout the day, ensuring the small spaces in your home always smell clean and fresh.
Fresh, sustainable scents for a cleaner home
Certain scents work better than others when it comes to refreshing a space naturally. If you're looking for clean fragrances that actively reduce odors and replace them with premium fragrance, these are two great choices for the Pura Mini™:
-
