The last time you cooked something in your kitchen did you notice a foul smell? Didn’t you want to get rid of it ASAP?! Try this the next time your nose meets some pungent smell:
For smelly freezers:
fill a clean sock with fresh coffee grounds and place it inside the freezer.
For smelly trash cans:
Wash the trash can once a week with hot and soapy water to remove pieces of debris that can hold in odors.
For your smelly pet:
For a quick fix, sprinkle a light coat of baking soda over the pet’s coat and then rub it in. Use a pet brush to brush it back out of the coat and the smell will go with it.
For a smelly toilet:
Pour vinegar in the bowl of the toilet and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Then use your toilet brush to scrub the toilet clean.

Notice, for maybe the first time in weeks, that your microwave needs a make-over! Wet the dish cloth. Then, squeeze a little dish-washing liquid into the WET cloth and place it inside the microwave. After that, run the microwave on high for a minute or so or until the window in the door gets all steamed up. Use the wet dish cloth to wipe away the crud inside the microwave. Careful, it will be hot! You’re done!
