Getting Rid of Odors in the Kitchen
"If an onion odor clings to dishes and pans after use, even after you have washed and dried them in the usual way, scour them well with table salt."
Non stick pans coated with polytetrafluoroethylen, more commonly known as "Teflon", have been around since their invention in 1938.
Ceramics, cast iron, stoneware, copper, and stainless steel are all common types of cooking surfaces.
The best way to clean these guys is follow the care instructions!
You may be able to use an abrasive method on your cast iron. It is common to use salt to clean a cast iron pan and keep it from rusting. I wouldn't use the same method on a stainless steel pan.

Now the Almanac's title today is misleading.
They actually do not have any suggestions for your overall kitchen or home odor problem.
I'm not sure what odors you tackle at home but let me just guess you are a massive hoarder with junk everywhere.
The best way to get odors out is to clean all your surfaces.
Start with a duster and dust all your things. Be sure to breathe in all that chemical goodness.
Next is to tackle the floor.
If you have carpet, get some scented baking powder, sprinkle on the carpet, let sit, and vacuum up.
Non-carpeted floors, use your correct cleaner on them floors.
Take out your trash!
That smelly smell is probably coming from that trash can you keep stepping into so you can somehow magically make some extra room.
Just stop and take it out lazy bones.
Vacuum your furniture.
Geez I know what you are thinking, "That is never going to happen."
I do this once a month or as needed.
Get rid of the dust on your couch, hair, pet dander, and discover a stain someone has tried to hide.
Then spray with some generic fabric deodorizer.
OR
You can skip all this and spray some pledge in the air before company comes over and they are none the wiser.
