Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. A single glass, filled with water, vinegar, and a spoonful of salt, can quietly neutralize stubborn household odors—from pet smells to cooking haze and lingering mustiness—without sprays, perfumes, or plug-in devices.
This isn’t just home lore; there’s real chemistry behind why vinegar works, making this inexpensive trick a practical option for keeping indoor spaces fresher.
Why Vinegar Neutralizes Odors
At the center of this method is white distilled vinegar, a dilute solution of acetic acid, usually around 5% by volume. Vinegar is effective at neutralizing odors because most unpleasant smells come from volatile, alkaline molecules in the air.
