Odor Removal - Some Do-It-Yourself Methods
OdorIn our homes there are many various sources, which can produce unpleasant odors; besides, there is a great number of 'corners' that these odors can hide and dwell in. So, in this article I would like to take a look at simple but effective methods of odor removal.
One of the most common places in our homes we may have to deal with unpleasant odors in is a refrigerator. This appliance requires regular cleaning and revision, otherwise even a small parcel of spoiled food can effect the entire fridge with all the products in it, especially such as butter or cheese.
There are several quite simple methods of fridge odor removal. After defrosting the fridge you need to wash and all its corners and shelves with warm water mixed with baking soda. Use 1 or 2 table spoons for 1,76 pints of warm water. After such cleaning you need to dry the fridge with a soft fabric and leave it open for a while.
If this does not help removing the odor, you may put much baking soda on plates, put them into the fridge, leave it open like that for several hours. Or, instead of baking soda you may use dry bread; or even a special powder use for cats' toilets. Put it on the plates and place them in every fridge compartment. You may turn the fridge on and leave it so for several days. But don't put any food in there yet.
If none of those methods help you in removing the odor, it means that the mold has gotten into the fridge insulation materials. In this case you will have to remove and replace them.
If you want to remove odor in a room, you may make a simple deodorant. Get a jar with a lid for it. Place a layer of rose (or any other) petals in it and cover them with a layer of salt. Then put another layer of petals and cover them with one more layer of salt, etc. When you fill a small jar up with them cover it tightly with a lid. Whenever you need to remove odor from a facility, just open the jar and keep it so for several minutes.
If you deal with kitchen odors, you may pour some vinegar into the pan and put it on the stove. Hot vinegar will evaporate removing the odors. Or else, you may burn a dried orange or lemon skin.
If you wish to remove a bad odor from your kitchen sideboard, you may put some wood coals or slices of onions in there.
These seem to be rather simple methods of odor removal, but none of them are expensive or difficult to apply.
