Do you know what guest really smell when they walk into your house, or jump in your car for that matter? I am going to be honest, I didn’t, and I sure wish one of my mom and sister-n-law would have told me earlier. Come to find out a majority of American are noseblind to odors in their homes and cars. Since we are always in these places, our nose becomes blind to the odors in your home, cars, and on our belongings. If your house smells like pets, you might not notice because your nose gets used to these smells, but it is something a guest would smell because their nose isn’t blind to the smells.
Is Noseblind Real
I recently held a “Noseblind Test” in my home, and I am going to say YES! Noseblind is a real thing, and some of you might even be suffering from it and not notice it. I learned so much about the smells in my home from the “Noseblind Test”. Think about it, if you visit a friend who is cooking with garlic, onions, or keeps their pets in the house you can smell it. Well, have you ever stopped to think if they can smell those same smells? Chances are they are noseblind, because their nose had adapted to the odor, and the scent goes away. Getting used to a smell is 100% normal, and it’s your nose’s physical response that normalizes the new smells.
The Febreze Noseblind Test
It look forever to get my husband to gather all the kids and take them ouside for a swim. Shawn agreed to take the kids swimming so we could have our alone girl time for the Febreze Noseblind Test. It was super sweet of him, but I think the reason he was taking so long was becasue he was trying to get out of it, lol. Not really, but maybe who knows.
To be honest I didn’t think noseblind was as that big of a deal until I found out the results! See the noseblind test consisted of three easy online surveys that my mom and sister-n-law. We took one when they arrived, another after the popcorn was finished, and another after we watched a movie, and we were not allowed to talk about our answers until we finished.
I learned that my guest could smell my pets in the embarrassing, but I had to move on we had popcorn to make and a movie to watch.
So this is what I learned, when my guests first came to my house they smelled pets, after burning the popcorn they didn’t smell pets, they smelled popcorn. After I popped, popcorn that was all you could smell. Finally, after our movie, it was time to pull out the Febreze products. I couldn’t wait to show them, and see how well Febreze worked in my home. When we finally got up to go outside and check on the kids and my husband the house smelled like an amazing tropical island, and when we walked back in about an hour later it smelled even better. I guess everything was really putting off scent, and eliminating odors.
The noseblind test was interesting, but you know I couldn’t stop there. I needed to be sure my house wasn’t going to smell like dogs the next morning. Since my sister-n-law and I already had a Walmart date this morning, I made her come in and tell me what my house smelled like. Guess what? Let’s just say we both bought more Febreze products at the store this morning, and agreed that will we tell one another if their house smells funky. I want to know, and if anyone is going to tell me I want it to be close family and friends. Besides, friends and family should always help out a noseblind friend or family member! If you don’t know, its hard to fix something!
