Ventilate and Use Natural Absorbers/Neutralizers

Description

The first step is always to remove the source of the odor (e.g., trash, old food) and improve air circulation. Then, utilize natural substances that trap or neutralize odor molecules.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Open windows and doors to air out the room thoroughly.
2. Place several bowls of baking soda or white vinegar around the room. These substances absorb many types of odors over time (replace every few days).
3. Alternatively, place activated charcoal sachets or containers (available commercially or make your own) in the room; charcoal is highly effective at trapping odors.
4. For a pleasant scent while deodorizing, simmer a pot of water on the stove with natural ingredients like lemon slices, orange peels, cinnamon sticks, or cloves.
