What's that smell?

LMAO!! Not a bad smell but not what you would particularly want in your house. I like the glade brand- country garden or something like that. It smells nice.

Hehehe, I don't like any of those scented air or carpet fresheners, they are too sweetly artificial smelling or something. Although when I was a kid I guess I liked them, because I got brought home by the cops once for trying to pilfer a can of Glade - for my treehouse of all places - from the nearby store. I have been using a Hyla water vac for a while now, and I like putting drops of essence oils in the water, which then shoots 'washed' and scented air back out into the room. I prefer ones like 'Gardenia' or 'Orange', but a while back the only thing I had in the house was patchouli oil. I thought that would be kind of exotic smelling. It wasn't. It smelled like sickeningly sweet perfume. But to make matters worse and to stretch them out for a long time to come, I neglected to empty the water out of the vacuum canister thinking that I was going to do more vacuuming and not wanting to waste the expensive patchouli oil, in spite of the fact that mixed in the water it smelt so awful. Anyway, I ended up not doing any more vacuuming, and I forgot all about the vacuum cleaner sitting over in the dark corner full of patchouli scented, hairy, dirty water. The next time I vacuumed, which was like a week later, when I opened up that canister I thought I would have to puke! It was HORRIBLE!! Not only that but the plastic canister had absorbed the odor and every time I vacuumed for like a month that ghastly smell spewed out into the room! I sort of think the maxi pad scent would have been preferable.

Yuck, I really wouldn't like that smell either, I don't want to bring back memories, lol, I am just getting over that part of my life now.

haha.. Yeah, smell is just like recognizing things and forgetting of things to say when it's just inside our mind a couple od seconds ago.. However when u are just about to have the answer, we forget everything.. LOL ^_^ It's a frustrating moment as it's so important to us and at that moment, we will feel ver uncomfortable till the moment we can recall wat izit actually about that comes to our mind.. LOL

Oh no! LOL! I know the smell you are referring to! LOL! Ugh! You're right! It isn't necessarily a bad smell but, any woman who has ever had a scented maxi wouldn't be able to overlook that kind of scent memory! LOL! I hope you find or have found a better scent soon! LOL!

id used one of them scented carpet deodorizers once in the past. was this cinamonny spicey kinda scent.. was very nice.. at first. i only did it once.. and the scent stayed.. stayed and stayed some more.. until the day i moved out. i wound up moving back into the same apt THREE YEARS LATER, and the place STILL had that sent!! everytime it rained... everytime it was muggy.. everytime i vacumed. the entire house would reak with renewed smell of cinamonny spiciness! i will never ever use the stuff again LOL

well yeah ..that was when im in my veranda its a bad smell actually and when i went out to find what is it..well its a pooh of my neighbors dog!!

That's Uh.....well....uh....... I don't know what that is , but it was funny! My husband used to buy the really Cheap Carpet Deoderizer.....and it didn't smell too Bad , But....I could never go in the room , right after he would spray it , or dump it , or what ever the He!! he did with it. I have horrendous Allergies....and it would make me Sneeze uncontrollably! But the worst smell for me is.....Darn....I just thought of two More. As a former Dry-Cleaner I've adapted to the Smell of Vomit , But.....Spoiled Milk gets me everytime! I'm not really sure why this is....since Both Vomit , and spoiled Milk are similar , but it gags Me!

Yikes! Lol Yes, I think I would take it out and sprinkle it on the inside of my garbage cans. New carpet deodorizer would be at the top of my grocery list.

I know what you mean. Recognizing a smell and not being able to place it. Or when you recognize a person but can't figure out their name or how you know them. They're equally frustrating to me.

Can you smell the blood yet? Oh yech spark, you just had to remind her of that didn't you? Yep. LOL

I'm not sure that I know what a Maxi Pad is. But I think that I don't have to try too hard to guess what one might be! In the corner of our kitchen, just by the dishwasher you can sometimes catch a whiff that smells like, how can I put this delicately, vomit! I think that a little water has somehow got trapped behind the kick board of the adjacent cabinet and it is quietly stagnating. I have looked and looked and it seems dry. Otherwise, it's the kitchen ghost. Well rather than vomiting it could do something useful like find the cheese grater that we have lost somewhere in there. Hope that you find a more pleasing carpet powder. We've been using "Eau du teenage daughter" for a while. Usually smells OK, but has a nasty habit of eating all the ice cream before I can get to it!
