Have you ever been to someone’s house, and the second you open the door a horrendous smell hits you like a brick wall? It smells like they just got done frying a fish, or perhaps there is a secret McDonald’s hidden somewhere in their basement? Well, I have been to a house like this before. Unless the person is unusually gross and messy, the odor could be coming from their kitchen. Sometimes the foods we cook leave odors that linger around the house. Besides cleaning the kitchen, I have another solution to this problem that does NOT require spraying Febreze in every square inch of my home.
The solution requires the following ingredients:
- 1 Orange
- Cloves
- A stock pot or any pot to boil water
- Water
Here’s what you do:
1) Slice the oranges. Doesn’t matter how thin.
2) Throw the oranges in the pot with a handful of cloves.
3) Fill pot with water and place on stove.
4) Let the water bowl on medium throughout the day. (Of course, do this on a day that you are going to be home and turn it off when you leave!)
The scent of the oranges mixed with the cloves brings an amazing aroma to the entire house! When the water starts to get low, just add more and keep it simmering. Not only does this provide an instant odor solution, but also it keeps the house a bit more humid in the dry winter months. Thanks Mom for teaching me this trick….hehe!
Enjoy!
