During the cold winter days it is quite rare that it happens fresh air to enter our homes as any opening of the windows can turn the rooms into a small Antarctic island. Usually this is the main motive that people use when they decide to buy different aromatizers for the rooms, the fridge, the wardrobes, etc. We all want to have the air filled with calming and fresh scents, instead of having to breathe the smoke of cigarettes, or the dust, or the smells that come from the kitchen after cooking for millions of hours. But have you thought about what all these aromarizers contain? According to some research, they are quite unhealthy as instead of clearing the air in your home, they just get mixed with the other smells and can only “hide” them for a while.
The natural aromatizers that you can prepare by yourself at home is the best you can do for your health and for your budget. Here are a few ideas you might like:
– you can get rid of the cigarette smoke, if you place small bowls filled with vinegar in different parts of your house;
– your kitchen can be a real problem, too, especially during the winter. Sometimes the kitchen hood is not enough and there’s still smell of food left. What you can do is to put in a small pot some cinnamon, 3 spoonfuls of vinegar and 1 glass of water. Place the pot on a warm (not hot) turned off hot plate. The scent will soon spread around your home and it will be really fresh and pleasant.
– if your oven smells of chemicals after you have cleaned it, put some orange peels and turn on the oven to 300 degrees for about 15 minutes. You can do the same with a lemon. It will have similar effect. After you’re done with the “baking”, you can leave the door of the oven slightly open.
