You’ll need a glass, some water, white vinegar, and salt. Fill a glass halfway with water, then add two tablespoons of vinegar and one tablespoon of salt. Stir until the salt dissolves completely. Once mixed, place the glass in any room where you want fresher air.
Vinegar, primarily composed of acetic acid, reacts with the salt to release ions that capture airborne particles responsible for bad odors. This process helps to naturally neutralize odors like cooking smells, pet odors, and mustiness.
Ensure the mixture is kept out of reach of children and pets, and be mindful of any allergies to vinegar. Although effective, this solution should not replace regular cleaning or proper ventilation.
