How to Keep Your Apartment Smelling Amazing at Unity Place & Unity Point

Between late-night study snacks, leftover takeout, and that one roommate who never does their dishes, keeping your place fresh isn’t always easy. But with a few simple tricks, your space at Unity Point, Unity Place, or wherever you’re living in Kingston student housing can smell seriously amazing—all the time.

Open Those Windows

Yes, even in winter. Cracking a window for just 10–15 minutes a day lets stale air out and fresh air in. It’s the easiest way to instantly refresh your space.

Take the Trash Out (More Often Than You Think)

We all forget sometimes. But nothing ruins your vibe like that weird smell coming from an overflowing bin. Pro tip: Use scented trash bags or toss a dryer sheet in the bottom to keep things under control between trips.

Clean Your Sink + Garbage Disposal

Food bits, standing water, mystery smells—it all happens fast in a shared kitchen. Baking soda + lemon juice down the drain can help, or just rinse with hot water and a splash of vinegar. 

Use Natural Air Fresheners

There are tons of alternatives to candles that are safer, budget-friendly options: 

• Essential oil diffusers
• Plug-in air fresheners
• A bowl of baking soda in your closet or fridge
• Simmering a pot of water with citrus and herbs

Stay on Top of Laundry (Especially Towels & Bedding)

That damp towel on the floor? Yeah, that’s probably part of the problem. Wash sheets and towels regularly, and don’t forget gym clothes or that hoodie you wear every day to class.

Bake Something (Even If It’s Just Cookies from a Tube)

Nothing makes your Kingston student apartment smell better than fresh-baked cookies. Even if you’re not a baker, pre-made dough will do the trick—and earn you roommate bonus points.

Add a Few Plants

Plants like lavender, eucalyptus, or even just fresh basil can improve air quality and add a light, natural scent. Plus, your apartment will look way more put together.
