Many people regularly encounter the problem of unpleasant odors in their kitchens.
Often this is related to hygiene, so you need to take out the trash every day, even if the bin is not completely full, make sure that no food remains while cooking, and check the refrigerator for expired food.
However, these actions are not always sufficient.
How can you get rid of unpleasant smells in the kitchen?
If the problem is caused by plumbing
Sometimes the source of an unpleasant smell is the plumbing. Food and fat residues remain in the pipes, filling the kitchen with an unpleasant smell.
Therefore, it is worth cleaning the pipes periodically. To do this, pour half a glass of soda into the drain, and then almost immediately pour the powder with the same amount of vinegar.
After ten minutes, you will need to turn on the hot water. The procedure can be carried out once a month for preventive purposes. As a rule, the smell disappears almost immediately.
For refrigerator
For many housewives, the only reason for an unpleasant smell is storing a large amount of prepared food in the refrigerator. In order to eliminate this problem, you just need to put something on the shelf that can neutralize the unpleasant smell.
You can choose from baking soda, activated carbon, toilet paper, ground coffee, lemon peels, or even a dry, clean sponge.
Lemons
There is a simple way to neutralize unpleasant odors while filling the kitchen with a pleasant aroma. To do this, you need to bake lemon slices in the oven.
The aroma will be more intense if you sprinkle the citrus fruits with cloves and cinnamon.
