Freshen the Air
We all remember those nifty pine fresheners that would hang from the rearview mirror of our cars. One way to mask smells we’re trying to get rid of is to try an air freshener. Keep the air feeling natural with homemade air fresheners like essential oils, natural-smelling candles or fragrant houseplants. Fresh herbs are a smell you won’t mind lingering around a while! Another option for freshening the air would be to invest in an air purifier.
Air the Room Out
This may sound counterintuitive after the last tip, but a good way to get rid of a smell is to air the room out. Turn on the fan and make sure the windows are open. This will help get rid of the bacon smell and also keep the kitchen from overheating while doing that frying.
Put Away the Frying Pan
Frying bacon may be the most classic of methods for preparation, but it’s not the only one. Bacon can easily be made in the oven or the air fryer. By making it inside an appliance rather than out in the open on the stovetop, those smells can be contained.
Make Some Coffee
Chances are you’ll be brewing some coffee to go with that bacon and eggs anyway. The scent of freshly brewed coffee is helpful in its own right, but the real benefit here comes from the used grounds. Those coffee grounds help neutralize odors, so just leave them out and let them do their job.
Make Dessert
Coffee goes great with dessert, right? Baking cookies or cupcakes won’t just provide something sweet to end the meal, but the smell will overpower that bacon and make the kitchen smell cinnamony fresh.
