For Everything You Can't Wash, There's Febreeze

I've been wondering something. What do you think Deep Space Nine, like the station itself, smells like?

I mean, there's carpets and loads of food all over and recycled air and vole infestations and nobody ever seems to do any cleaning... sometimes when I'm watching I think about stuff like that.

Nobody ever seems to ...akwardly pause... when they walk in through the gear-doors, so it must get cleaned somehow. And I guess if it smelled bad, Captain Baseball Vulcan would have said something.

Okay, totally late to this party, but I also kinda thought about this.

It seems that engineering has a hand in that job. At least I recall having heard of "waste extraction" as a place engineers get stationed. But yes, I think all space stations have a fair bit of odor. I also think that all space travellers get used to the various stinks fairly quickly.
