Open the windows and regular cleaning/dusting for sure. I am a fan of clean smelling essential oils (eucalyptus, rosemary, mint, and citrus), but my partner doesn't like any scents. A simmer pot in cooler seasons sure is awesome. I do add small amounts of essential oils when cleaning. For instance, when using a vinegar spray.
I often hang laundry outside and put various items outside to air out, like the trash can, slippers, and hampers. Sunlight and fresh air really help.
Biggest problem is cooking smells. One time we left the house for a week and closed the windows. Came back to house smelling like the last meal we ate!
