Some meals that you make, no matter how delicious they are, can leave a strong and unpleasant cooking odor that will travel throughout your whole house. Foods like onions, garlic, fried fish and other fried foods, seafood, and cabbage are all pungent and aromatic foods that produce one heck of an odor when it hits the pan.
Cooking odors can land on you, your clothes, and throughout surfaces in your home. But most importantly it can end up in your indoor air and linger around for what feels like forever. Washing off cooking odors from yourself and your surfaces is fairly easy to remove but to clean your air of odors entirely, particularly cooking odors, is a much more daunting task and one that will require several resources to accomplish.
There are several things you can do in an effort to reduce cooking odors and reduce the smells from inside your home.
Below are the key methods to use to eliminate cooking odors and one is using an air purifier for smell elimination!
- Clean out Refrigerator: You will be surprised to find how much odor can come from inside your refrigerator. We often forget to do a routine cleaning of our fridge (at least I do), and this will lead to a collection of odors to grow and develop inside the area. Be sure to plan out weekly cleaning for your fridge – go through each item to determine if it has reached its expiration and throw away foul food. Also, go through and wipe down shelves inside your fridge, chores can particularly hold onto odor so make sure to be thorough in this cleaning process.
- Soak Cutting Boards: Cutting boards are a commonly used kitchen item that many people use for cooking. These boards, however, can retain odors especially wood cutting boards that pick-up cooking smells like onions and garlic. It is good to leave your cutting boards underwater overnight to help eliminate those unwanted cooking odors.
- Clean Grease Build Up: Grease and oil can wreak havoc on the surfaces around your kitchen and any surfaces that it comes into contact with including ceilings, exhaust fans, and even windows. Be sure to properly clean these surfaces after an oil splatter and clean oily pans right away to prevent cooking odor build up inside your home.
- Use Exhaust Fans: Many people when cooking completely forget to use the exhaust hood vent above their stove and this can be a big mistake. The exhaust fan can help to combat these odors and reduce the spread of them throughout your home.
- Get a Good Air Purifier for Odors: Get the best air purifier for odors and smells. The EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System is a highly effective odor eliminating air purifier.
