The Magic Recipe
What You’ll Need:
·1 cup of coarse salt (sea salt works best)
·1/2 cup of white vinegar
·A glass or ceramic bowl (avoid metal, as vinegar can corrode it)
Instructions:
Place the salt in the bowl, then pour the vinegar over it. Stir gently to combine.
Put the bowl in areas with poor air quality or strong odors.
Replace the mixture every two to three days for the best results.
Tip: If you prefer a lighter scent, add a drop or two of essential oil to the mixture.
By combining two simple ingredients you probably already have at home, you can quickly freshen the air in your home without relying on chemical sprays or expensive gadgets.
Keep In Mind…
While this method is great for improving air quality, it’s not a substitute for regular cleaning or for addressing the root causes of odors, like mold or grime.
Also, the initial vinegar scent may be noticeable, but it fades fairly quickly. If you’re sensitive to the smell, you can always add a drop of essential oil for a pleasant fragrance.
Health and Safety Considerations
Though vinegar and salt are common household items, it’s important to use this mixture with care. Keep it out of reach of small children and pets, as accidental ingestion could cause irritation. Also, make sure to place the container in a stable spot to prevent spills.
