Removing Bad Smells

Don't be surprised that most of the things that can remove bad smells can easily be found in your kitchen. Before you can get rid of the bad smell, it is important to clean the affected smelly surfaces with a clean cloth, some water and detergent or soap first. Then you can perhaps follow any of the following tips which work wonders and can effectively help you to get rid of the smell.

1. You can put a medium-sized chunk of charcoal inside your smelly refrigerator and leave it there for a couple of days. You will notice that the bad smell will soon be gone.

2. Put a generous amount of baking soda in an uncovered container and leave it for several days. Remove the baking soda and replace it with new one until it has cleared the bad smell.

3. Just put some lemon or lime peels into an uncovered container and leave them inside the confined area for a couple of days. The citrus smell will naturally replace the bad smell.

4. Take a few strips of pandan leaves or screwpine and tie them into knots. Place the leaves inside the confined space and leave them until the leaves withered or dried up. Replace the leaves regularly until the smell goes away.

5. Pour several drops of vanilla essence or mint extract on some cotton wool. Toss it inside your wardrobe and leave it for several days. You will notice that the area smells nice.

6. Just place 2-3 teabags inside the confined space for several days. The tea leaves in the bags will not only absorb the bad smell but also release the natural aroma of tea.
