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.

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.
