Houseatosis.

We have all experienced houseatosis.  Rather it be food, pets, or tobacco odors, these smells can be quite embarrassing if you are expecting company. 

Houseatosis ~ the condition of foul, lingering odors in one's house. From house+(hali)tosis.

I remember the night when the girls came over for bridge club. I was so embarrassed because of the houseatosis.

The next time you are planning for guests, neutralize odors by pouring a little vinegar in a small glass or cup and place several around your home. The vinegar will neutralize any unwanted smells.  Oh, and don't forget to place a flower in the glass so no guest accidentally mistakes it for their beverage.

Afterwards you can also use vinegar to clean your table tops and floors.  So there you go, no more embarrassing orders, now, doesn't that feel good.
