Keeping your house clean, tidy, and odor free can be incredibly satisfying, but it can also get overwhelming, especially when you fall behind. When you’re a home chef it can be even more difficult to avoid dishes piling up in your sink and keep your home smelling good. Your favorite dishes probably leave your home smelling delicious. But after a couple of days (or even hours) the smells can develop into something less appealing. Thankfully there are a few things you can do to prevent bad smells from staying in your home.
Clean Regularly
Staying on top of regular cleaning can help cleaning be less stressful and keep your house smelling fresh. One tip that is especially helpful for regular cleaning as a home cook is to clean as you go. It can be easy to get caught up in cooking and finish up with a beautiful meal and a kitchen full of dishes, but if you clean while you cook you can have the satisfaction of presenting your meal and clean kitchen in one go.
Cleaning regularly around the house can also help your home stay fragrant in the best possible way. Try assigning specific tasks to each day so you never go more than a week without completing your most important home tasks.
Don’t Leave Food Out
After eating your home cooked meal, be sure to put food away as soon as possible. The quicker you get food off the table and into the fridge, the less time unpleasant odors will have to develop. Also, proper food storage will ensure that unwanted pests don’t find their way into your home.
Any food waste that is created through your cooking process should be taken outside immediately to prevent your indoor trash can from getting stinky. Whether you throw it away or compost, taking care of food waste quickly will keep your house fresh and free of unwanted pests.

Another great tip to keep your house smelling good, especially while you’re cooking, is to control airflow. Take advantage of your kitchen fan while cooking to prevent smells from settling. Keeping windows open can also help you move the air and minimize smells. Keeping the air moving will also keep your house as cool as possible, even when you have the oven and stove running.
Cooking is an awesome way to spend your time and can keep your family fed and happy. With these tips you can also keep your home smelling just the way you like it.
