How to Fight Common Household Odors

No one wants to come home to kitchen filled with funky smells.  Fortunately, there are ways to get rid of these common odors.  These tips will help keep your home smelling fresh.

Odor Control Tips:

• Wipe Down Your Fridge - A smelly refrigerator is something no one wants to come home to after a long day at work.  Clean out your fridge this weekend.  Wipe down the shelves and put baking soda in your fridge to absorb foul odors.  
• Clean Your Microwave - Microwaves are subject to a lot of abuse.  Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the lemon juice into a small bowl of water.  place the lemon water in the microwave for five minutes to help freshen up the microwave and get rid of cooking odors.
• Add Vinegar to Your Dishwasher -Vinegar and baking soda are great deodorizers.  Fill a measuring cup up halfway and place it on the top rack of your dishwasher.  Then, you can let the dishwasher run (otherwise empty) for a cycle.
• Sanitize Your Sponges - You use your sponges to keep your dishes clean, but the sponge itself can be another source of smell after a while.  Soak your sponge in a mixture of water and lemon juice or vinegar.  Then, toss it in the microwave to deodorize.
