Your kitchen can be the culprit of several odors inside your home. When you cook a meal, the aromas will develop inside your living space and linger inside for a long period of time, as the stagnant odorous air will sit inside the environment. Foods like onions, garlic, chili powder, curry, fish, and red meats are all items that will produce a strong odorous smell inside your house that will be a challenge to remove entirely. Sometimes, though you will also experience another odor inside your kitchen that is entirely unrelated to the aroma of food. This odor is caused by your stovetop – as gas stoves produce nitrogen dioxide and other indoor air pollutants that can contaminate your house and produce an undesirable odor in the home.
