ODOR REMOVAL BREEDS FRESH AIR...

Odors can be like.... eeeeuuuuuwwwww. You know what I mean. There's an old saying that "If you don't smell fresh air, there's no fresh air ... to smell"! There are many sources of odors, and for this short blog lets concentrate on the odors caused by bacteria in the air at our homes. And if we remove these bacteria from the air it stands to reason that the odors will leave in the removal process. What can we choose as a effective removal agent?

How about vinegar?! Vinegar is well recognized as an excellent cleaning and sanitizing agent. I like to call it the home miracle water. It cleans, it zings and it smells oh so lovely when just simmered in a pot of water.... cleansing the air in your home.

To remove cooking odors boil a teaspoon of white vinegar in ½ pint of water to remove unpleasant cooking odors. And for other odors or just stagnant air add 1/2 pint of vinegar into a gallon pot of water and let simmer on the stove. The fumes will travel through the home dismantling many type odors while leaving that fresh air smell around. You can also mix a teaspoon amount of vinegar and lets say a pint of water into a spray bottle and mist around the rooms as an air freshener (be careful not to spray onto wood surfaces).

Vinegar has many household and some health remedies that work quite well. Keep in mind that vinegar itself is an acetic acid. And one thing acids do well is : "Take things apart" on a microsopic level. so be careful not to get it on porous or fabrics because it may stain. Otherwise, vinegar is a very inexpensive and effective household helper solution.
