An odor or odour (see spelling differences) is caused by one or more volatilized chemical compounds, generally at a very low concentration, that humans or other animals perceive by the sense of olfaction. Odors are also called smells, which can refer to both pleasant and unpleasant odors. The terms fragrance, scent, and aroma are used primarily by the food and cosmetic industry to describe a pleasant odor, and are sometimes used to refer to perfumes. In contrast, malodorous, stench, reek, and stink are used specifically to describe unpleasant odors.

Terminology

In the United Kingdom, "odour" refers to scents in general. In the US, "odor" has a more negative connotation; "scent" or "aroma" are used for pleasant smells.

How do I get a musty odor out of a washing machine?
Q. My washing machine is about 10 years old and has a musty odor that transmits to the clothes. It is a top loading machine that has always used city water. A repairman said its because of mold and tried a bleach treatment. The odor returned about a month later. How can I permanently get rid of the musty odor?

A. run the washer on a wash cycle with maybe a load of towels or whatever can be bleached. ad your laundry soap, about 1/2 cup bleach, 1/2 cup baking soda, and 3 tablespoons of white vinegar and use the largest water fill. and let it go. then just leave your washer lid open when not in use to help prevent it from coming back. i always wash my towels with a 1/2 cup of bleach each week and i leave the lid open when i am not using it and it never gets to smelling nasty.

A. Put a few small containers of baking soda in each drawer to absorb the smells... Or you can try cotton balls dipped in perfume or essential oils. Also charcoal works as well.. Good luck

How to remove the odor of garlic from Magic Bullet containers?
Q. Since we got our Magic Bullet, my whole family has been thrilled to used it. My mom's favorite use is to crush/chop garlic. I noticed, though, that despite a thorough washing, the odor of garlic remains in the container and even on the blade! It's quite the turn off when I want to make a smoothie. Any advice would be great!

A. I would recommend white vinegar. Although you think it's a worse scent, the scent doesn't stick and it's used to clean everything. You're doing double duty by using it... getting it very clean, and removing any harsh scents. Rinsing it after wards with water will get the vinegar scent out. I would definitely lean towards this than a lemon. Lemons have a strong, and more foot printing scent and when watered down, they aren't as effective.
