De-stink your Glass Jars with these Super easy Hacks

Some glass jars in the kitchen have a very stubborn smell. It’s hard to dispel the smell using dishwashing soap especially when it’s an odour of pickle/kimchi/garlic food etc. Even after soaking the container for hours, the smell doesn’t go off. You can try any of the tricks discussed below to get rid of the strong smell. Remember to first wash the container with soap and warm water. If it’s a mild odour, it will go away. If it doesn’t, try these odour eliminator tips:

• • Place your containers outside in the Sunlight. This is one of the natural and most effective ways to get rid of any smell. Putting jars in the sunlight will not only air them out but also helps in getting rid of the smell. Don’t forget to place the lids along with the bottle.
  • Place some Coffee Grounds in the container, close the lid and leave it overnight to get rid of any pungent smell.
  • Try putting  2-3 tbsp of Cumin seeds in the container and leave it overnight. The smell will go away.
  • Rinse the jar with a solution of lemon juice and water. You can also rub a lemon inside the container and leave it for some time. Later, rinse the jar with warm water.
  • Fill the container with a solution of Baking Soda and water and leave it for 3-4 hours. Later, wash the bottle/jar with warm water. Baking soda is one of the best odour removing ingredients.
  • Crumble up few Newspapers, fill them in the jar and leave it overnight. If the odour is not very strong, it will go away.
  • The powerful smell of Vanilla extracts can also do wonders in getting rid of odour.
  • Vinegar is also an incredible deodorizer. Mix Vinegar with cold water and pour this solution into the container. Let it rest for 4-5 hours. Later, rinse the jar with clean water.

So, next time, use these simple hacks and reuse your jars/bottles instead of discarding them.
