Cooking meals from scratch is more popular than
ever thanks to cookery television shows and growing trends for healthy eating
and economical living. But cooking foods with strong aromas like curry and fish
can leave smells that linger long after the meal has been enjoyed. Don’t be put
off trying new recipes – we’ve got some natural and effective ways to
neutralise kitchen odours and get rid of that pong for good!
Deodorise the air
Once the meal is over, simply place a pan of 200ml White Vinegar and 200ml water
on the stove and leave to gently simmer for 15 minutes. White Vinegar is a
natural deodoriser that will neutralise odours, making the room smell fresh
and clean in no time.
Stinky smoke
If your culinary masterpieces don’t go to plan and
a burnt, smoky smell lingers, simply spray a 50/50 White Vinegar and water
solution around the room, and on any soft furnishings that have absorbed the
smell*. Adding a few drops of essential oil to the solution will also fragrance
the air.
Bin the stink
Nasty niffs can also linger around kitchen bins. To
help combat the stink, regularly wash the bin and any recycling containers with
a Soda Crystals solution. Once dry, add a two table spoons of Bicarbonate of
Soda to the bottom of the bin to absorb bad odours naturally. You can also keep
fridge food odours at bay by placing an open box of Bicarbonate of Soda in the
fridge for up to four months.
There’s nothing like a home-cooked meal made with
fresh ingredients, so don’t let strong smelling foods put you off your cooking
your favourite foods!
