Common Area Scent

[Raygen Randall]

I have a lot of apartments that get some weird smells in the hallways. 

Any cost efficient and effective solutions to maintain a good smell common area?

The smell may be from leaking garbage bags being hauled down the hallway.

If it's carpet maybe replace it with an easier to clean material, and scheduled some regular cleanings (as often as needed).

This might be a fix vs trying to compete with the stink with a sweet smell.

If you do this, be sure whatever you choose is temperature stable dimensionaly for your hallway micro climate.

Good Luck!
