How to get rid of kitchen odors if you don't have a hood

1. Ventilate the room

First, close the doors that lead to the kitchen. This will prevent odors from spreading throughout the apartment. Open windows. If you have a portable fan, point it towards the window. This will fade the smell much faster.

2. Do not delay cleaning

Do not leave the cooking oil in the pan. Wipe off all greasy and sticky surfaces immediately after cooking. Take out the trash without waiting for the bucket to fill to the brim. Do not leave food leftovers on the table, but put them in the refrigerator.

3. Surround yourself with pleasant scents

Simmer the water with lemon zest, cinnamon sticks, or other ingredients of your choice over low heat. Leave it on for half an hour or an hour. Do not forget to turn it off, otherwise you will have to get rid of the smell of burnt cinnamon as well.

4. Make coffee

A cup of aromatic coffee in the morning will not only provide a boost of vivacity, but also mask unpleasant odors.

5. Neutralize odors

Plain vinegar will help make it. Put some vinegar on the fire and bring it to a boil. Of course, the vinegar aroma will first spread through the kitchen, but then it will evaporate, like everyone else. It's worth it.
