Fresh Scents
December 3, 2009
Barbarock has a lot of tried and true odor-fighting tips for keeping your house smelling fresh. Here are just a few:
- After you take out the kitchen garbage, clean out the can and sprinkle a little kitty litter in the bottom to keep odors in check.
- Place a few dryer sheets in a closet–on the shelf and on the floor–to keep clothing and stored items smelling nice.
- Dispose of lemon, lime, and orange peel by grinding it up in the disposal to keep the sink smelling fresh.
- For persistent sink odors, mix 2-3 tbsp. of bleach in a cup of hot water and pour it down the drain.
- Keep a box of baking soda in the refrigerator and change it about once a month–schedule a good fridge cleaning for that same day.
- If you fry fish or onion rings in a Fry Daddy or other frying appliance, put a small box of baking soda in the appliance between uses to neutralize odors.
