Sometimes odors in the house are so hard to remove and air fresheners just cover them up. Today, after the hubby loaded and ran the dishwasher, I went to open it after the cycle ran. There was a horrible horrible odor coming from it. Apparently, a piece of food or something got on the heating coil and burned. We removed the food, but the odor hung around the house for a while.
Here's a little concoction to get tough odors out of the house without just covering them up:
2 parts water
1 part straight vinegar
Boil on the stove for 30 minutes (or until you can't smell the odor you were trying to cover up)
There will be a strong vinegar smell for a few minutes, but it will go away.
If the odor isn't gone the first time, boil the vinegar a while longer.
