Oilcloth, which is usually used to cover the kitchen table, is an excellent material that not only looks decent, but also copes with its functions of protecting the countertop with flying colors.

However, sometimes housewives notice that the oilcloth, which until now had served them faithfully, began to emit an unpleasant smell.

If you are also facing a similar problem, we recommend you to follow the following steps.

First, wipe the table surface with a damp cloth or sponge.

After that, you can use baking soda and vinegar. Mix equal parts of baking soda and water in a spray bottle.

Add a few drops of vinegar and spray onto the surface of the oilcloth. Leave for a few minutes, then wipe again with a damp cloth.

Alternatively, try using essential oils. Put a few drops of essential oil on a cotton pad and wipe the surface of the oilcloth with it.

Essential oils will not only help eliminate unpleasant odors, but will literally make the oilcloth smell fragrant.
