How to get rid of strong smells

Onions make fantastic odour eliminators. Whether you've been cooking fish or you've just moved into your new home which has an unwanted odour, here's a tip that might get rid of any lingering smells. Cut a white onion in half and leave it on your windowsill for a couple of nights. The onion will absorb any unwanted smells, leaving your home odour free.

How to keep your waste bin smelling fresh

If you have a garbage disposal unit fitted in your kitchen, try placing some orange or lemon peel into the unit to keep it smelling fresh.

How to maintain a fresh smelling toilet

Pour half a cup of baking soda into your toilet tank at the back. Water is always present in this tank and can sometimes cause an odour. Adding baking soda will create a natural deodorizer to help keep your bathroom smelling great.

How to keep your microwave fresh

To clean off stubborn food splatters inside your microwave, soak a sponge in water and place on a dish inside. Turn to a high heat for 2 minutes then allow to sit for a further 5 minutes without opening the microwave door. Wipe the mess straight off with the sponge. Keeping a cup of baking soda in the microwave between uses will also stop food smells combining every time you cook.
