Know 3 easy home hacks, including boiling lemon peels and cloves, keeping baking soda in the fridge and putting dry coffee grounds in the dustbin. These measures can help in keeping the kitchen smelling fresh.
Due to increase in humidity in the air during monsoon season, it is common for dampness and strange smell to occur in the kitchen. Many times, despite regular cleaning, stale smell spreads throughout the house due to sink, dustbin, fridge and wet clothes. If your kitchen also smells bad during rainy days, then some easy home remedies can reduce this problem within minutes. These hacks will not only make the kitchen smell fresh, but will also help in preventing bad odor caused by moisture to a great extent.
Boil lemon peel and cloves
If you are constantly feeling the smell of dampness in the kitchen, then take water in a vessel, add lemon peel and 4-5 cloves to it and boil it for about 10 minutes. The natural fragrance emanating from it spreads throughout the kitchen and the stale smell coming due to moisture starts reducing. The freshness of lemon and the strong aroma of cloves together make the atmosphere feel more fresh.
Keep an open bowl of baking soda in the refrigerator.
During monsoon, the smell of things kept inside the fridge can also spread throughout the kitchen. To avoid this, keep an open bowl filled with baking soda in a corner of the fridge. Baking soda helps absorb excess moisture and strong odors, thereby maintaining freshness inside the fridge. Keep changing it from time to time so that its effect remains.
