When breakfast is over, here’s how to get the lingering bacon smell out of your house.
Bacon is delicious. Whether enjoyed with eggs for breakfast or on top of a cheeseburger at lunch, it’s hard to run out of ways to eat bacon. However, after you’ve made your bacon and appreciated that fragrant aroma, you’re probably ready to figure out how to get the bacon smell out of your house.
Even the most delicious cooking smells are less pleasant the next morning!
Deal with the Leftovers
The first thing we can do is make sure the bacon is put away. When everyone is done enjoying that Sunday brunch, put the leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. That will make sure there’s more bacon available for a snack later, and help get the bacon smell out of your house, too.
Don’t Let the Mess Linger
Smells tend to hang in the air if the dishes and frying pans stick around for a while covered with that delicious bacon grease. Try to clean as quickly as possible and the smell will fade after. An additional bonus is that fresher cooking messes tend to be easier to clean. After cleaning those pots and dishes, you’ll want to get that smell off your hands by cleaning them, too, with a squeeze of lemon. The citric acid will neutralize odors and your hands will smell clean and fresh. This little hack also works to get the smell of garlic off your hands.
Contain the Smell
We’ve all walked into our bedroom and suddenly smelled that morning’s breakfast. What was delicious for brunch is not welcome at bedtime, so keep kitchen smells out of the rest of the house by containing them. The best way to keep that bacon smell out of the rest of the house is to close the doors to the other rooms, and close the door to the kitchen when cooking. Then, hopefully, the smell will stay there and not travel.
