How To Banish Unwanted Home Odors With Just Vanilla Extract
By PAMELA SIEGEL
To quickly deodorize your home with vanilla extract, heat your oven to 300 degrees, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to an oven-safe bowl, and pop it in the oven for an hour.
If you don't have time to wait on the oven, add ½ cup water and 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to a microwave-safe mug and heat the mixture on high for up to 1 minute.
If your fridge smells less than fresh, you can use vanilla extract as a deodorizer, there too. Add a bit of vanilla to a damp rag when you're cleaning the inside of your fridge.
Alternatively, you could also mix a solution of water, white vinegar, and vinegar extract, and apply it to your fridge with a spray bottle.
