      How to get rid of hot pot smell

      Method 1: Cleaning

      Add washing powder or laundry detergent and wash the clothes normally. After washing, the odor will be eliminated and there will still be a light fragrance.

      Method 2: Lemonade

      Find a spray bottle, fill it with water, add an appropriate amount of lemon juice, stir evenly, and spray it on your clothes. Then hang the clothes in a naturally ventilated place and let them dry naturally.

      Method 3: Steam

      Use a steam iron or garment steamer to spray steam evenly on the outside of the clothes, then place the clothes in a naturally ventilated place and let them dry naturally.

      Method 4: Perfume

      Sprinkle perfume directly to cover the hot pot smell with perfume.

      Things to note

      1. If there is no lemon juice, you can leave it out. The effect will be slightly worse, but it is also very effective in removing odor. If you have lemon essential oil at home, adding a drop of it will have the same effect.

      2. Don’t add too much lemon juice, 1 or 2 drops is enough.

      3. Never add any chemicals containing bleaching ingredients, such as 84 disinfectant, etc. Otherwise, the clothes may become stained.

      How to quickly remove hot pot smell

      Washing is the most direct and thorough method. If you don’t want to wash it for the time being, hang it up and put it in a cool and ventilated place. Do not put it in the closet to avoid contaminating other clothes.

      Bamboo charcoal can be bought in large supermarkets, wrapped in toilet paper and placed in the clothes that need to be deodorized. The effect is also better.

      Pour water into a watering can, add 1 or 2 drops of lemon juice, shake well, spray on the outside of the coat and let dry.

      Prepare a sealed bag and take off as many heavy and difficult-to-wash clothes as possible and put them in the bag to prevent the clothes from absorbing the hot pot smell.

      Hang the clothes in a steamy place (such as the bathroom, etc.) or use a steam iron. The steam will bring out the odor from the clothes, and then dry them. This method is very effective in removing any odor from the clothes.

      How to remove hot pot smell from room

      1. Use air freshener to spray a few times in a room with hot pot smell. After a while, the hot pot smell or odor will be removed.

      2. Dry the soaked waste tea leaves and place them in the corner of the room. Use the physical adsorption principle of tea leaves to remove the hot pot smell.

      3. ① Dip some diluted vinegar into a towel and wave it around the room. ②Light a few candles indoors and the hot pot smell will be gone in no time. (Carbon black is produced when burning candles. The main component of carbon black is carbon and has adsorption properties, so it can remove the smell of hot pot). ③Put a bowl of vinegar indoors to remove the hot pot smell. ④Hanging a few wet sponges or wet towels in various corners of the room can remove the hot pot smell.

      4. Cut the lemon (including pulp) into pieces and put it into a pot, add a little water to boil it into lemon juice, and then use a flower sprayer to spray it in the house to achieve the deodorizing effect.

      5. Open windows for ventilation.
