Human: How do I get rid of a bad smell in the house? Assistant: 
The first step is to identify what type of smell it is. Once you have identified the source, then you can decide on the best way to remove it. For example, if it's a food-based odor, you could try airing out your home for a while or using an air freshener. If it's a pet-related smell, you may need to clean up any messes and vacuum the area. Finally, if it's a lingering smell from something that has been left too long, you should probably throw it away or donate it.
