Kitchen odor Make sure that there is good air circulation or ventilation in your kitchen. Clean window treatments or curtains. Fabrics absorb odor more than any other material. Remove oil and grime regularly from blinds and objects near the kitchen stove. Mop floors every night with the following effective solution: one gallon of water, one capful of Lysol, three caps full of your favorite fabric conditioner. (This is also very good against pet odors.) Garbage Remove and dispose of wet and dry garbage, and clean out recycling bins every night or after major cooking. Dispose all garbage outdoors at least 50 steps from your house. Hose down garbage cans, recycling bins, and allow them to air dry for 20 minutes. Even better, expose them under the sun. Clean out garbage cans and bins regularly with vinegar plus water solution or disinfectant that kills germs instead of just masking odors. Pots, pans, sponges Never leave soiled or used dining wares or kitchen utensils, pots and pans overnight. This not only causes odor, but also attracts roaches, ants and rats/rodents. Food gets old and smelly quickly, especially if there is milk. Wash kitchen sponges with soap and water to remove odors from food residue. Microwave them on high setting for one or two minutes everyday to kill harmful bacteria. Wash dish cloths and kitchen towels periodically with bleach to get rid of dirt, odor and germs.
