How to Clear Smoke and Smell from Your Kitchen
While cooking can be a delightful activity for some, the cleanup afterward may feel like a tedious chore. Even when you're pan-frying, grilling, or preparing a hot pot at home, the lingering smoke and kitchen odors can become quite problematic. Fortunately, the AirHood team has got you covered. So, here are a few solutions to help you get rid of those pesky smoke and smell issues in your kitchen.
Improve Ventilation to Reduce Kitchen Smoke
The most straightforward approach to clear smoke from your kitchen would be to open up your windows, if you have that option. If you are cooking in a dorm room or somewhere without a window, you can open your door, though this compromises privacy as strangers could see your activities or living space. However, opening windows or doors may not be practical during extreme weather, whether the numbing cold of winter or the stifling heat of summer - cooking with a thick jacket and hands freezing won’t be funny at all!
Remove The Source of Cooking Fumes
If the smoke and smell come from burnt food, simply discard the item. This will quickly eliminate the smoke, though the air may take time to fully purify. When splattering oils leave nasty traces and lingering smells on counters and walls, you can wipe down the surfaces and clean any smoke-stained walls to freshen up your kitchen.
Use Odour Eliminator to Neutralize Kitchen Odours
Boiling a mixture of baking soda and water might help dissipate trapped smoke particles. If any lingering cooking odors persist, leaving a bowl of baking soda in the pantry overnight can prove an effective natural deodorizer, absorbing and neutralizing those pesky smells. As an alkaline substance, the porous chemical structureof baking soda binds with the acidic compounds in the odor-causing molecules, transforming them into odorless gas molecules.
Mask with Natural Air Fresheners
Displacing the oily smell with some fragrances can be an option too. While it may take time for the fragrances to be evenly distributed throughout the room, the right scent could actually lift your mood and make you forget the recent cooking chaos. Consider lighting your favourite scented candles or leaving out bowls of natural deodorizers like coffee grounds or vanilla-infused cotton balls to gently replace the lingering, unpleasant smells.
