The kitchen is known as the heart of every home because of all the time spent in there making meals to fuel our body, mind and soul.
That is why it is important to make sure that it is clean and smells fresh all the time..
Chantel Mila, a mum and influencer who uses her social media to share cleaning and household hacks, has revealed 3 simple ways to make sure your kitchen always smells good.
In a recent TikTok video, she shared her go-to techniques to keep unwanted smells from your kitchen.
In the video she shows off her three-step technique which starts off with her cleaning the fridge, making sure to remove all the shelves before wiping it down with her homemade deodorising spray.
The spray is made up of a mix of vinegar, water and vanilla extract.

She then follows that up by boiling lemons to help deodorise the cooking spaces.
In a pot, she boils vinegar, sliced lemon and water and then lets the steam do its work.
Lastly, she takes a sliced lemon and places it in the dishwasher before putting on a cycle.
She says this final trick not only improves the smell of the dishwasher but makes plates shine as well which is an added bonus.
