Your house has a bad odour but you can’t tell – Here’s why and how to fix it. There are two main reasons your house smells and you can’t detect it:

Why your house smells but you can’t detect it

1. Occupant odour

Odours from your cleaning supplies, clothes, food, perfumes, and room fresheners are all considered occupant odours. These smells then permeate carpets, drapes, and pillows.

These all gives your home a unique smell because of the way various smells blend together.

2. Olfactory adaptation

Olfactory adaptation refers to the mechanism that causes you to lose the ability to smell your own breath, odour, or even perfume after a short while.

The truth is we get so used to the smells of our own home that’s why we can’t recognise it. After breathing them in for a while, an unfamiliar smell becomes quite familiar.

Things that make your house smell badly

1. Trash can

Odours can form due to the accumulation of spills and crumbs in the trash can or dustbin. You should throw dirt in your trash can as often as possible, but not only that, you should wash and freshen it up to get rid of lingering odours.

2. Shoes

Shoes can get really smelly because of the accumulation of sweat and dirt, creating a breeding ground for bacteria.

3. Cooking odours

Cooking can create smells that stick around for a long time. Pungent vegetables and foods like cauliflower, fish, broccoli, locust beans, and curry can saturate your house and clothes with a bad odour.

4. Wet, dirty clothes

Damp clothes can give your house a very nasty, musty smell. Ensure clothes are sun-dried before bringing them in. Keep your dirty clothes far from your toilet, so they don’t get damp.

Also, wash your bedsheet and pillowcase once a week to remove nasty odours.

5. Leaky pipes

Sewage smells from bathtubs or sink drains may indicate a clogged pipe. This leads to the presence of mould and mildew which gave your house a damp smell. Exposing yourself to this long-term can cause lung infections and chronic bronchitis.

How to make your house smell good

1. Use a sliced lemon in your dustbin

Running a sliced lemon through your trash disposal while rinsing it with cold water is a quick fix to get rid of any residual smells. This will fill your kitchen with a clean, new smell.

2. Use fabric spray

Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 30 drops of wild orange essential oil. Transfer the mixture to a spray bottle filled with two cups of distilled water. Shake and spray in the air or onto fabric to remove odours.

3. Throw garbage out often

Don’t wait for smelly kitchen waste to accumulate before you finally decide to throw it away. Garbage is full of decomposing waste that can leave your home with a bad smell, so throw it as often as possible.

4. Open your windows

Proper ventilation can eliminate trapped moisture and bacteria that cause strong and unpleasant odours.

5. Use air fresheners and aromatic candles

Finally, to get your house smelling great, buy automatic air fresheners and aromatic candles to saturate the place with a pleasant smell.

Also, don’t forget to sweet and mop everywhere in your room, including behind furniture.

How does Wi-Fi work? A simple explanation

Published

on

4fa024aa adb4 4676 b9da bd07dd855899

You’re scrolling on your phone, streaming videos, or playing games, all without any wires.

But how exactly does Wi-Fi send the internet through the air? Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible.

Think of the internet as a massive library filled with books. When you click a link or open an app, you’re asking for a “book” from that library. But since there are no physical wires connecting your phone to the internet, how does that information reach you?

Your Wi-Fi router is like a radio station. Imagine a radio station playing your favorite song. You don’t need a wire to hear it, it’s sent through the air using invisible waves. Your Wi-Fi router works the same way! Instead of music, it sends internet data using radio waves.

Wi-Fi signals are just radio waves carrying information. When you tap a link on your phone, a tiny request travels through the air to your router. The router then connects to the internet, fetches the data, and sends it back to your device—all in a fraction of a second.

So Why Does Wi-Fi Get Weaker with Distance?

Imagine standing next to a speaker playing music, it’s loud and clear, right? Now, walk away. The sound gets weaker, right? Wi-Fi signals work the same way. The farther you are from the router, the weaker your connection becomes.

Ever noticed Wi-Fi works great in one room but not in another? That’s because walls, furniture can block or weaken the signal. It’s like trying to talk to someone through a wall, your voice gets muffled.

Why Does Wi-Fi Sometimes Slow Down?

If too many people are using Wi-Fi at the same time, it’s like everyone talking at once—it gets noisy! Your router has to manage all the requests, which can slow things down.

How to Improve Your Wi-Fi Signal

If your Wi-Fi is slow, try these simple fixes:

  • Move closer to the router – A stronger signal means faster internet.

  • Reduce interference – Keep your router away from thick walls or large objects.

  • Restart your router – A quick reset can refresh the connection.

At its core, Wi-Fi is just invisible waves bouncing between your device and your router, carrying the internet wherever you go.

What is dropshipping, and can you still make money from it in 2025?

Published

on

722eee28 910c 44a3 9d27 3c3d91aa6f8a

Dropshipping is a business model that allows you to sell products without ever having to store or ship them yourself. 

Dropshipping became a hot topic in recent years, with many people making money from it. But as we step into 2025, one big question remains; can you still make money from dropshipping, or has the opportunity passed? With so many online stores popping up, is it too late to start?

If you’re looking for a side hustle or even a full-time online business, this article is for you. 

What is dropshipping?

Dropshipping is an online business model where you sell products without handling them physically. Instead of stocking items in a shop or warehouse, you only place an order with a supplier when a customer buys from your store. The supplier then ships the product directly to the customer.

In simpler words, imagine you’re selling hair products. Instead of buying them in bulk and keeping them in your house, you partner with a supplier who handles everything. Your job? Just list the products on your website or social media, promote them, and take orders.

Platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and even Instagram can help you run your dropshipping business easily.

Can you still make money from dropshipping in 2025?

The short answer is yes, but it’s not as easy as before. Dropshipping is still profitable, but competition is tougher. You need a smart approach to succeed. Here are some things to consider:

1. Choose the right products

Selling the same thing as everyone else won’t help you stand out. Find unique, trending, or problem-solving products. In Nigeria, items like beauty products, home gadgets, and fashion accessories tend to do well.

2. Use the right suppliers

Not all suppliers are reliable. Some take too long to deliver, and that can frustrate customers. Look for suppliers with fast shipping, especially those who ship from within Africa or have a warehouse in Nigeria.

3. Leverage social media

Dropshipping works best when you market your products well. Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are great for getting customers.

Influencer marketing and ads can boost your sales.

4. Customer service is key

People are tired of scams and poor service. If you want to make money from dropshipping in 2025, you need to be trustworthy. Respond to messages, help customers track their orders, and handle complaints professionally.

5. Offer something extra

Since many people are dropshipping, think about what makes your store different. Free shipping, discount codes, or valuable content (like styling tips if you sell fashion items) can set you apart.

Dropshipping is still a great way to make money, but it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. Success comes from choosing the right products, working with reliable suppliers, and using smart marketing strategies.

With hard work, creativity, and a good strategy, you can still build a profitable dropshipping business in 2025.
