33 Life Hacks to Solve Your Everyday Problems

Smelly Room Be Gone

College dorm rooms. Hotels. We have all endured a situation of sorts where an unpleasant scent has greeted us in temporary living quarters. Perhaps your roommate feels as though you are a personal maid.

On the other hand, you may have been lucky enough to be placed in an older model room on an extended stay. Even luckier for you, there are no scent aids anywhere in sight. No matter the reason, dealing with a smelly situation can be annoying and uncomfortable.

Easy fix? More than likely, you will have dryer sheets on hand. (Most hotels can even provide them.) Simply take a dryer sheet and tape it over the AC unit. If you need to use more than one, simply tape a few of them on evenly. When you turn the AC unit on, you will be instantly greeted with a fresh scent. A few minutes of this and your smelly room will be transformed into the closest thing to a bouquet of flowers.
