How do I make the room my tank is in smell better?

Hey guys and gals!
So my tank is located in my bedroom and I noticed my crabs are making my room smell like, well crabs!
How do I fix this without using fumes?

You got CrabStink my friend. I find fresh air exchange and not letting food rot cuts down on it. I only notice CS when i dont fan my tat or i put shirmp in and it goes funky. Or somebodys molting. A wipe down of the glass w vinegar will swap smells and clean up your glass.

Well- I have not noticed "crab smell" but I do have several rodents in my room and they stink up the place, I live where I can keep a window cracked at all times- but air exchange is your friend.
