A clean kitchen does not mean that a real housewife lives in the house. Much in this regard depends on the air in the room.
Of course, the fresher the better. But not everyone can keep things fresh in the kitchen. The reason is food products, sewage, fat and humidity.
Here's how to overcome all these troubles.
1. Air freshener
It is best to make a homemade one. A few drops of essential oil on a cotton pad are enough. Spread it in the most likely places where the stench appears - a trash can, a pantry, etc.
2. Is the drainage ok?
Often, it is useless to fight odors until the kitchen sink drain is cleared.
3. Look in the refrigerator
Even if the kitchen has clean mountain air, opening the refrigerator can poison the atmosphere. It also needs to be cleaned, and then a container of soda or activated carbon should be placed inside.
4. Have you prepared the food?
If something is burnt, then in addition to opening the window, you need to wet a towel with essential oil and vigorously shake it in the kitchen, dispersing the air. Do not forget to remove the source of the stench.
5. Special mixture
Some housewives prepare special mixtures of salt and citrus fruits, adding various aromatic herbs. Such a freshener does not lose its aromatic properties for a long time and, unlike synthetic ones, can eliminate the cause of the smell.
6. Sponges for washing dishes
Various napkins and sponges used to wash greasy dishes and especially dairy residue can poison the air no worse than a trash can.
7. Cunning
To quickly deal with the smell, you can bake a couple of lemons, which will neutralize even the most obvious stench.
8. Lemon juice
It can be used not only as a fragrance, but also as an effective cleaning agent. A couple of drops in a dirty sink or on top of the tap will tidy up the surface and the atmosphere around it.
9. Trash can
It is advisable to develop a habit of taking out the trash can every morning, even if it is half empty (or full).
10. Extractor hood
Don't forget that your kitchen hood needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly. It collects a lot of dust and grease, which together emit a very nasty smell.
