Every housewife is familiar with the problem of dealing with unpleasant odors. Special means are not always effective, and most importantly, sometimes they are not safe. To be sure that the anti-stench product is environmentally friendly, you need to use natural remedies such as coriander, coffee, lemon zest and others.
Coriander
The overseas spice coriander is nothing more than the seeds of cilantro, which has a strong, specific aroma. It is thanks to him that coriander is able to fight bad breath. To do this, make an infusion of coriander sativum in a ratio of 1:5 with hot water. Let it brew and drink 100 ml of infusion 3 times a day. Experts say that after 10–14 days of daily use of coriander infusion, the long-term problem will go away on its own.
Bay leaf
In smoky rooms, it is very difficult to remove the stench of cigarette smoke, and air fresheners provide only a temporary effect, since the smell of nicotine is absorbed into the wallpaper, curtains and tablecloths. To eliminate this unpleasant odor, you will need dried bay leaves. It is enough to burn 3-4 laurel leaves in the room, and there will be no trace of the smell of cigarettes. For greater efficiency, the windows in the room are kept closed at the time of treatment, and after the laurel burns, the room is ventilated.
Coffee beans
Coffee beans are a good natural flavoring agent, so they can be used to eliminate bad odors of various natures.To combat the musty aroma of clothes, special clothes bags with freshly ground coffee are made and hung in the closet between the hangers of clothes. In 2-3 days, the coffee will absorb the stench and leave only its aroma. The smell of burning or smoke in the apartment can be overcome by the smell of roasted coffee beans. All you have to do is roast coffee in a dry frying pan for 7–10 minutes, and your apartment will be filled with a pleasant aroma. The main thing is not to overcook the grains, as the burning smell may intensify.
Lemon zest and juice
Another natural air freshener is lemon. To eliminate unpleasant odors in the refrigerator, use lemon juice. To do this, wipe washed and dried surfaces with a cloth soaked in lemon juice.
If something is burnt in the kitchen, then lemon zest, which is dried in a hot frying pan, will help quickly eliminate the smell. The zest will give up all its aromatic oils to the hot metal, and a pleasant citrus aroma will appear in the room instead of the amber of burnt cutlets.
You can get rid of unpleasant odors without special chemical sprays using natural products. The main thing is to remember that it is better not to mask the stench, but to find its cause.
