I Can See the Air. Now What?

Alright. By this time everyone is settled into their rooms and are beginning to get comfortable. This means that laundry is piling up, and people are spending more time in their rooms breathing. A very common circumstance.But with the smells of comfort come a few that are just not something that will ever be put into a scented candle.

Some of you may have realized that in Mingus air does not circulate very well. If there is something hanging in the air it is going to continue to hang. And since Febreeze will set of the fire alarms that is not really an option.

So how does one refresh an area when the air has a color. Here are some tricks for Mingus.

  1. Put Dryer sheets in the AC's
    • This is used all the time and is a cheap and good way to refresh the air that comes from a 20 year old AC
  2. If using windows open one in the room and one on the opposite side of the suite
    • Air will only flow if it can go through the whole suite
  3. Clean your laundry
    • No Brainer
  4. Contain Shoes
    • If you can put shoes in a box or a some other container when you take them off then that will eliminate one of the top Dorm odors
  5. Use standard cleaners 
    • Clean the whole room so that anything that was in there when you first came will be gone.
  6. Take a mint
    • breathing does build up 
  7. Take a shower
    • Some engineers have a hard time with this one, so its being written down
And now you will have a suite that smells like a bed of roses. Or at least Fresh Scent dryer sheets.
