The kitchen is perfectly clean, but doesn’t even smell fresh?

Let's figure out what the reason might be. In this article, we have collected 3 potential sources of unpleasant odor that, for unknown reasons, always remain outside our attention.

Extractor hood

Dust, smoke, carbon deposits and other dirt accumulated inside the hood can become a source of unpleasant odor, so the first thing you should do is change the filters.

Once the first stage is completed, do a general cleaning of the hood using a degreasing spray and a toothbrush - this way you will be able to reach even the most difficult to reach places.

Gaps between furniture

It often happens that there are gaps between the stove and kitchen furniture, which over time become filled with pieces of food and splashes of fat.

Food debris can fall behind and under kitchen cabinets, so be sure to vacuum or use a mop with an extended attachment when cleaning these areas.

Pipe under the sink

Even if the sink looks clean, food particles, grease, and other dirt can remain in the drain and pipes. All this turns into a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria and the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

Clean the siphon and use a special cleaner for the sink. These steps will help eliminate the smell.
