Do you smell that? Our sense of smell affects our moods and emotions. Aaron Marino of alpha m. has past experiences with a horribly smelly place. Communal living is tough, and when you have different levels of ‘filth thresholds’, that makes it even tougher.
First of all, come up with a cleaning schedule. Also you can use carpet deodorizers that will help with odor. Another consideration is purchasing candles and / or air fresheners. Find some that smell musky and masculine. Yankee Candle Company has incredibly strong smelling candles that don’t even need to be lit in order to freshen the air. These candles are expensive but they last forever and have many manly scents. You cannot afford to have a stinky, funky place because it can affect your social life.
