Expert Cleaner Reveals Four Unconventional Tricks to Banish Household Odors

A professional cleaner, known for her popular online tutorials, has unveiled four ingenious methods to combat persistent household odors, offering a fresh perspective on home maintenance. Kellsie, who operates under the moniker "Kellsie Cleaning Tutorials," shared her expert tips, claiming they surpass the efficacy of conventional candles and sprays. Among her recommendations, Kellsie suggests a vanilla extract and water solution for refrigerators, advising viewers to "mix 2 tablespoons of vanilla with 1 1/2 cups of water in a spray bottle" and wipe down all surfaces without rinsing. For microwaves plagued by burnt or fishy smells, she recommends a mixture of "1 cup vinegar, 1 cup water, and 1/2 cup lemon/lime juice" microwaved for five minutes, then allowed to sit for ten before wiping. This method, she asserts, "loosens grime and pulls the odor, leaving it fresh." Pet owners will find relief in her advice for smelly bedding and toys: adding "about a fourth cup of OdoBan" to the fabric softener dispenser during a regular wash cycle. Lastly, to prevent trash can odors, Kellsie advocates for sprinkling "a little baking soda in the bottom of each new bag," noting that "it absorbs odors as the bag fills." These practical, quick fixes aim to keep homes smelling fresh and clean.
