I Need Advice

My house is driving me mad. I'm on maternity at the moment and have nothing to do all day but clean it, but somehow it never feels clean. I've donated maybe 70% of my unnecessary possessions too.

Yesterday, for example, I repainted my kitchen white and scrubbed the floors, today I deep cleaned the oven and bath. Still feels filthy to me, all I can smell in the kitchen now is drains?! Our drains are fine so I have no idea why I'm smelling it. As we rent from a family member, we can't do much to upgrade it and it is a very old, leaky, crumbly house.

What do people do to make their house feel really clean? Any tricks/tips because I feel like I'm going insane 馃槀

Try using baking soda in lemon 馃崑 water... Keep it in small bowls around the kitchen.. It helps fight odor. Use lemon peels in garbage disposal.

Check house and ceilings for mould.

@Starsandfire Yeah, take concentrated lemon juice 1 cup... In a soup bowl... Add a cup of baking soda and keep it in the room, kitchen.... even refrigerator.
