Parts and labor warranty and US-based customer support.A person's noseblindness to their home is real, folks. And just because you can't smell your own home, doesn't mean that other people can't. So for their sake (and for the sake of making things less stinky), it might be time to tackle those odors once and for all. It will, however, probably take a bit more than a can of air freshener to do the trick -- so we turned to author and cleaning expert Jolie Kerr for some advice. "There are two different things we talk about when we talk about dealing with odors: odors maskers and odor eliminators," she told HuffPost Home. And here's everything you need to know about each of them. How they work: Just as the name implies, odor maskers take the natural smell of your home and layer it with a (hopefully) stronger smell.

There is no chemical elimination of the "bad" smell, just a more pungent masking over the current odor.hybrid ion-25 germicidal air purifier What to use: While air fresheners may be the most common option, they tend to have a distinct aerosol-like odor. zen living zl-4000 professional air purifierTo avoid this, try lighting a few candles, using a recently-refilled diffuser or boiling citrus peels. alen paralda air purifier reviewIf you opt for the latter, the steam will act as a natural diffuser and work faster than a purchased one. When to use them: Kerr suggests these should be your go-to in a pinch -- if you have guests coming over in 30 minutes and you want things to be a bit fresher, this is the way to go.

How they work: According to Good Housekeeping, odor eliminators are acidic while odors themselves are alkaline or basic on the pH scale. In other words, when the two come together, they counteract and the smell is neutralized. What to use: Kerr notes that white vinegar works amazingly well. "Put it in a small bowl and tuck it behind the curtain so you don't see it while it's doing its thing," she explains. Every home has a different smell, but you should notice a difference in a day or two. And if you want to do double duty run a cycle on your coffee pot using half white vinegar and half water, as the steam will express neutralize your home and your coffee pot will get clean at the same time. It's often the main ingredient that creates the smell-fighting quality in kitty litter, and you can buy tablets of it at pet stores or purchase a brick of it online, Kerr says. All you have to do is leave it out in a small bowl in your home. When to use them: These are for people dedicated to having an odor-free home.

You can use the charcoal with little to no effort daily, and if you go the vinegar route, just be sure to replace it every day or so. It will evaporate and refreshing your supply will increase effectiveness. What to do daily: "Fresh air is one of the best ways to keep your home smelling neutral," reveals Kerr, who personally keeps her windows open from when she wakes up in the morning until she goes to bed at night. While it's not always an option due to climate or safety reasons, it is an easy solution if you're not facing restrictions. It will make your home a bit dustier. Smells you might be missing: Sure, everyone knows about the garbage (take it out) and the fridge (a fresh box of baking soda), but you might also want to check the drain if you don't have a garbage disposal. Food can get stuck in there so do a quick clean out with some baking soda and vinegar before rinsing with water. And for pet owners: Good news! Your furry friends have not completely doomed you to a stinky home for life.

Granted, you'll have to take on more work, but "the best thing pet owners can do regularly is laundry and de-odorizing the furniture," Kerr notes. Upholstery loves to hold in smells, so wash the bedding and blankets where your pets love to curl up and vacuum furniture and carpets after letting baking soda sit in those spots for 15 minutes.Check out HuffPost Home on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram.

White Vinegar Home Cleaner White Vinegar Uses Home Cleaning Tips White Vinegar Uses For Cleaning Smelly HomeVery recently my dad & step-mom bought us an air purifier as a combined Grad School graduation & birthday present. It’s an Oreck air purifier and let me tell you, it is awesome. Many, many thanks to them. Within 24 hours of turning it on and keeping it running, Mark’s allergies had 98% cleared up.

Now, instead of blowing his nose multiple times in an hour — he only blows his nose when he comes in from the outdoors. Not only that, but every time we vacuum  — this weird, funk smell would always get really powerful in house. Well, turn that Oreck bad boy on its ‘Turbo’ setting while your vacuuming and absolutely NO FUNK SMELL. We love it and we recommend it. And it came with full warranty, so we  can take it in and get maintenance and more. We’re definitely going to do something similar when we buy a new vacuum. We’ve had to replace our vacuum almost every year, but if we just put in the money to get a really nice one then we get one with warranty and actually hang on to it longer than one year. 10 stars for the Oreck XL Tower Professional Air Purifier. This week WhiteHouse.gov moved to a Drupal Content Management System. An article in NYT states that it was a “serious seal of approval for open-source software” and that that’s no lie. While Drupal was already a popular CMS, there’s nothing like an endorsement via the White House’s use of the CMS.

To be frank, I’m quite surprised about the move to Drupal. From my personal experience, not a lot of people are satisfied with the functionality of Drupal. A while back I was interviewing with an academic department at University of Wisconsin – Madison and one of their main requests for the job applicants was to undo the Drupal website that was driving faculty and staff crazy. Their Drupal website was not giving them the web presence & back-end functionality that they needed, and no one knew how to customize properly so functionality was breaking down all over the place. I’ve installed Drupal on a testing website of mine and it’s easy enough to navigate, but true customization was not at my fingertips. The same article mentioned before also noted that  she could sett up a “basic Web site easily enough, [but] doing any kind of real customization work proved a bit tricky.” While WordPress is blogging software, in my opinion, many times it’s easier to customize WordPress code to run a website than actually deal with a CMS.

I know the benefits of CMS, but I truly haven’t found one that I adore or would actually recommend to someone. I’m more inclined to recommend WordPress plus tweaking to run a site than actually recommend Drupal, Joomla, or RedDot. I’ve seen a new CMS called Mambo and I’ve yet to try it out, but we’ll see how that one compares to the rest. Besides all the Drupal bashing that I’ve just done, the Drupal White House website does look very, very nice. Check out this article titled, Apple Hints at Mac Counterattack on Windows 7. Very short and ends with a great quip, In the end, Windows is “still Windows.” Yes, that’s right….I want to murder and assasinate Internet Explorer. I don’t care which version, I’d like to take all of them, pile them up nicely, put some kindling and gasoline at the bottom, light a match, and just WALK AWAY…Wash our hands completely of this forsaken browser… I tell you what, I’ll only use Opera for an ENTIRE year if we can burn IE alive.
