Best way to air out a room?

15 Comments

Due to poor personal hygiene, my room has a smell in it. Someone else in the house began to complain, so I'm changing my habits. I cleaned the room and started showering again, but a spat arose when it came to opening my door.

I don't like to have my door open since I don't like hearing the rest of the house or broadcasting everything I do on my computer (music/games/etc). So I was thinking I could just open a window.

The response was that it was mostly the door that mattered. Opening a window seems like it would be more efficient for airing out a room than opening a door.

Is it?

Open both a door and a window 38

    I would opening a window sounds more effective to me. Opening a window gets freshness in and your shitty smell outside. Opening a door just diffuses your shitty smell throughout the house, which doesn't sound like an improvement at all.

    The window would work well. Just remember to close it when you leave the house, to protect the house from burglars and weather.

    Using other scents to overpower the lingering odours could help too. Put fabric softener sheets in the air vents. Dab drops of your favourite essential oils in the corners of the room. Burn scented candles (soy candles are best). Spritz your bed covers with perfume or cologne.

    An aggressive way to fix the smell, if it's really that noxious, is to have the carpets shampooed (or replaced) and give the walls a lick of paint. You can even buy special paint for odours. This is what has to be done if a person spent a lot of time smoking in a room.

    Both. Creates cross flow for ventilation. Doesn't need to be for the whole time, otherwise just a window should do.

      I do other things on my computer. I can't masturbate for a straight 8 hours.

        You can't?!

        In my village, that is how we distinguish the men from the boys.

    Without opening both you won't get any air flow; it's that simple. Beat off in the bathroom, so you can have your door open.

    The problem is with a closed room with a window opened, the air doesn't circulate as well.

    Depending on the orientation of the house and weather conditions, I open the front door and let a breeze thru the house and the fresh air push the stale air out of the rooms via the windows.

    Also if you have carpeted floors, consider cleaning it.

    Lighting a match works for farts or shits, febreeze is good for upholstery, or also baking soda in ur shoes for smelly feet, or baking soda on the carpet and then vacuum.
