How can I remove the smell of onion from my hair?

Community Answer

Try a cider vinegar rinse. Mix two tablespoons of cider vinegar with two cups of water. Apply the mixture to your hair and leave it in for a few minutes. Then just rinse it out of your hair. Both the onion and the vinegar smell should be gone.

Pour a nice soap in the drain and put on the disposal. It will eliminate the smell. You could also poor vinegar and baking soda into the drain, or grind a lemon through the disposal.

Question

How can I get the burnt smell out of my house after burning food in a pot?

Mai Kay

Community Answer

Unpleasant smells can often be removed by leaving baking soda out and opening a window. If you have a solid surface floor, you can toss baking soda into the air, avoid breathing it in, and then vacuum the floor after it settles to quickly fix most bad smells.

Question

When storing whole or chopped onions, how can I prevent my house from smelling like them?

To reduce onion smell during storage, keep them in airtight containers or tightly sealed jars. Storing them in the refrigerator and placing baking soda or coffee grounds nearby can also help absorb any lingering odors.
