Smelly houses
33 Answers
Do you know anyone with a smelly house?
One of the smells that turn my stomach is the smell of chip fat when you walk through the door. OH is picking up a takeaway on the way home and I volunteered to cook some prawns crackers - the first time I have deep fried anything here. Now I am hyper-aware of the smell of fat in the house and I have opened all the doors to eradicate the smell.
If I smoke, I always smoke outdoors. There is nothing worse than walking into a stinky house.
Do you worry about your house smelling?

My eldest bro who is a dirty person and his equally skanky wife.....house smells of sh1t, had to leave once as one of the toddlers had pants full and was not being cleaned up. The only people I ever knew who never hoovered or cleaned from the day they moved into their house. I thought they'd painted the bannisters dove grey.....it was muck on the white paint.
Some houses do have certain smells about them and those that live in them smell like their houses even when they're not there.
When I bought my house I rented it out for the first 5 years and in that 5 years the house developed an odd musty smell which it didn't have before. The smell went once the tenants left and I re-decorated.

I know what you mean Nom. When we moved into this house I made my Dad bin the deep fat fryer because of the smell and the amount of grease it splatters around without you noticing. We borrowed one a while ago for something and I could smell it for days afterwards. It was gross, especially when I realised our old house must have smelt like that all the time.
Having 3 large dogs and 1 little one we are always aware that others may smell something that we are not aware of, especially as our little Sh-tzu is getting on a bit and does have the odd accident:(
We tend to have Indian joss sticks burning most of the time so that smell would hopefully mask any malodors.
Our dogs whilst being big and shaggy never actually smell, they never fart and dont even smell when their coats are wet, we put it down to their diet and the fact that they go in the sea a lot.

My house smells of dogs - but its my choice to have them and people don't have to visit (actually thinking about it they don't anyway only other doggy friends!). I happen to hate the smell of air fresheners - they make me heave. Also perfume - I can't breathe if someone is wearing any. If I go to a dog show and we stop overnight in a travelodge my mate always stinks the bathrooms out with all manner of smelly stuff and it makes me feel sick.
I once had a crush on a most beautiful girl, and after a couple of months she invited me to meet with her ma and pa in their house. Well, I spent and hour or two smarting myself up and had a couple of drinks for courage, and arrived at her house looking and smelling like I owned the town. Then the door opened to reveal the dirtiest, smelliest, untidiest, home I had ever seen. I made the excuse I had left a bouqet out in the car and went to get it.
As soon as I got in the car I knew she would never be the one for me, and shot off up the road doing 70,mph, and didn't stop until I'd put several miles between her and myself...... Never saw her again.
