The smell of a home is a fundamental part of the essence that it transmits. It is not enough to just put effort into beautiful decoration, but the aroma also influences how comfortable we feel at home. A bad smell gives a feeling of lack of hygiene, it will not be pleasant for us to get home nor will our guests like it.
No matter how much you clean your house properly, there are certain rooms that are more susceptible to giving off an unpleasant odor, such as the bathroom and kitchen. The latter is what concerns us here. The smell of food, the smoke that comes out when we cook, the garbage, the sink, the dirty dishes… all of this gives off a series of unappetizing odors.
If you want to get rid of these bad odors, it is imperative that you follow proper kitchen hygiene. Start by thoroughly cleaning the pantry and refrigerator, making sure to throw away all spoiled food and clean surfaces. Cleaning the ceramic hob and extractor hood, as well as other appliances such as the microwave and washing machine – if you have it in the kitchen – will help say goodbye to bad odours. Likewise, it is very helpful to ventilate the kitchen daily, especially after cooking. And clean the dishes after use instead of leaving them accumulated in the sink.
Aside from all these rules, there are certain homemade tricks, very simple, practical and effective, that you can apply in your kitchen so that it always smells good. They are compiled in a TikTok video by user @vekalife24, with 2.9 million followers on this social network.
