4. Pay attention to the exhaust pipe
This is not only a tip, but also a tip to prevent the air in the kitchen from becoming unbreathable. The drain pipe clogs very quickly when washing dishes, so it is best to carefully throw any residue into the trash before putting the dishes back in the sink. Also, three glasses of boiling water and a teaspoon of baking soda, which should be mixed and poured into the pipes, are essential to eliminate the most stubborn grease residues.
5. Clean and perfumed hands
In addition to surfaces and dishes, your hands also need to be protected from unpleasant odors. Certain foods such as garlic, fish, or onions can make your fingers dirty and sweaty. However, this is not an insurmountable problem, and here too natural tips will help you: if you rub your hands with half a lemon, the smell will disappear in a few seconds.
6. A microwave oven as good as new
The microwave oven is very convenient, but there is always the risk that unpleasant odors may settle on the surfaces of the appliance. Lemon, however, can eliminate all these disadvantages: just cut it into quarters and put it in a glass container filled with hot water. The steam does the rest by dissolving the remaining fats. To completely clean the microwave, a cloth soaked in vinegar can be very useful.
7. Smells from the cutting board
Bad smells in the kitchen can come from the most “unexpected” accessories. The perfect example is the cutting board: it is regularly used in this environment to cut cold cuts, cheeses, vegetables and so on, but if it is not cleaned carefully it can spread an unpleasant odor throughout the room. A little lemon juice mixed with a pinch of salt gives it flavor.
8. Flavours in the kitchen
It is also a useful tip to make your kitchen even more pleasant. If you want to spread a particular aroma in the environment, you can use a simple coffee bean: once placed in the refrigerator, the characteristic scent spreads everywhere. Alternatively, you can use a cotton pad soaked in vanilla and keep it in a corner of the kitchen for a unique scent.
