Clean your air the old way

Musty, stale smells can often occur in older buildings.

So give this old trick a try:

It's easy, it's cheap and the ingredients are normally found in your kitchen!

Salt, Vinegar & Water

 

  1. Half Fill a glass with clean water.
  2. Gently Stir in 1 tablespoon of salt (rock salt if you have some, or table salt if not) until it's all completely dissolved
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar (bown 'malt' vinegar will work too but if the cat knocks it over, your carpet might not look too good!)
  4. Place the glass, left uncovered, in the room that needs freshening up.
  5. Renew the mixture every two to three days for the best results.

So how does it work?

 

  1. The Vinegar naturally contains acetic acid, which neutralises strong odours and breaks down airborne particles.
  2. The Salt helps to absorb moisture and enhances the deodourising effect of vinegar.
  3. The Water simply acts as a carrier, allowing the ingredients to circulate effectively in the air.
