Does your kitchen smell like last night’s dinner?
Even after cleaning the sink and taking out the trash, some odors just don’t go away.
Here are 3 natural and effective ways to eliminate unwanted smells and make your kitchen fresh again.
1. Baking Soda: The Ultimate Odor Neutralizer
Baking soda isn’t just for baking — it’s one of the best natural deodorants.
How to use:
- Place an open box of baking soda in the fridge and under the sink
- Sprinkle baking soda in your trash bin
- Let it sit overnight and replace weekly
Baking soda absorbs moisture and neutralizes sour or greasy smells quickly.
2. Boil Citrus Peels and Spices
A simmer pot can refresh your kitchen air in minutes.
Try this recipe:
- Add lemon or orange peels to a pot of water
- Toss in cloves, cinnamon sticks, or rosemary
- Simmer on low heat for 30–60 minutes
The steam releases a warm, clean scent that fills the entire space.
3. Vinegar Spray for Counters and Air
White vinegar kills bacteria and deodorizes without harsh chemicals.
Quick solution:
- Mix 1 part white vinegar + 1 part water
- Add a few drops of essential oil (like lavender or eucalyptus)
- Spray on counters, cutting boards, and into the air
Let it air-dry naturally — the vinegar smell fades quickly, leaving freshness behind.
🌱 Bonus Tip
Keep your kitchen well-ventilated.
Open windows regularly and clean the range hood filter at least once a month.
Natural methods are not only safe for your health but also cost-effective and eco-friendly!
