There is usually plenty of good food to eat on Christmas and New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, you can still notice this the next day, because the hearty smells of the food usually linger in the apartment for a long time.

And no matter how delicious the feast may have been, we don't necessarily have to still have the smell in our noses the next day. Not to mention that the smells of food also tend to settle in clothes and jackets that are hanging in the hallway, for example.
The first step to getting rid of these smells: ventilate thoroughly. But especially in winter and in times of energy crisis, this is not the optimal solution. However, with a few simple tricks you can quickly get rid of the unpleasant aromas.
Cat litter to eliminate odors
The cat litter binds moisture and also prevents unpleasant smells. Why shouldn't this also work with nasty food smells from raclette, fondue, etc.? To do this, simply put some litter in several bowls and distribute it around the apartment. Then the smell should be stopped in no time.
To combat the smell of grease: vinegar in boiling water
If we fry something with a lot of fat, the smells tend to settle in the extractor hood. But there is a quick solution for this too. Simply bring a pot of water to the boil and add a dash of vinegar. The resulting water vapor neutralizes greasy smells and makes bad smells a thing of the past!

Smells in the fridge: lemons & salt or coffee
You can eliminate unpleasant smells in the refrigerator with lemon and salt. Simply put a bowl with half a lemon and a tablespoon of salt in the back of the fridge. The salt binds moisture and the lemon neutralizes odors and provides a pleasantly fresh citrus scent.
Coffee powder also helps against unpleasant food smells in the refrigerator. Simply pour a little loose coffee into a bowl and place it uncovered in the refrigerator for a few hours. Coffee powder also helps everywhere else in the apartment. To do this, place several bowls of it around the room.
