One of the most common issues for people living in condos, apartments, or dormitories is the lingering smell of food. It often discourages residents from cooking at home. But that ends now! With these 10 simple and effective odor-eliminating tips, you can enjoy home-cooked meals without worrying about smells spreading throughout your space.
1. Keep Doors and Windows Closed While Cooking - Cooking smells can easily spread throughout the unit. To prevent this, close all doors and windows—especially to your bedroom, bathroom, and living room—before you start cooking. This simple trick helps trap the odors in one area.

2. Use the Kitchen Hood or Air Purifier - Always turn on the kitchen hood while cooking. You can also place a fan nearby to blow smells outside or use an air purifier. Don’t forget to clean the filter regularly—this makes a big difference in keeping odors at bay.
3. Freeze Fresh Food and Dispose of Waste Promptly - Fresh market produce should be stored in the fridge right away to avoid fishy or meaty smells. Also, don’t let food scraps sit in your kitchen. Tie them in a plastic bag and throw them out immediately to prevent lingering odors.

4. Combat Odors with Pleasant Scents - If the smell refuses to go away, try masking it with pleasant aromas. Scented candles, incense sticks, or essential oil burners can do wonders. Prefer natural solutions? Simmer herbs, citrus peels, or aromatic plants in water for a soothing, refreshing scent.
5. Absorb Odors with Natural Deodorizers - Instead of just masking smells, try absorbing them with vinegar, baking soda, coffee grounds, or charcoal. Place any of these in small bowls around your condo and replace them regularly for maximum effectiveness.

6. Clean the Kitchen Immediately After Cooking - Cleaning up right after cooking is key to odor control. Wash dishes, wipe down the stovetop and countertops, and dispose of any leftover grease or food particles. The longer you wait, the more the smells will stick around.
7. Install a Folding Divider for Open-Plan Studios - Studio apartments without separate kitchen areas can benefit from a folding divider. It helps contain odors while cooking and can be folded away afterward—adding function and style to your space.
8. Use Onion as a Natural Deodorizer - Did you know onions can absorb odors? Chop one up and place it in a bowl of water in the kitchen. It helps trap smells and smoke, stopping them from drifting into other rooms.
9. Try the Vinegar and Bread Method - Boil half a pot of water with two cups of vinegar. Soak a slice of bread in the vinegar solution, place it on a plate, and leave it in different corners of the condo. This old-school trick helps neutralize strong food odors effectively.
10. DIY Essential Oil Deodorizer - Avoid costly air sprays by making your own. Mix 1 cup of baking soda with 8–12 drops of your favorite essential oil. Place it in a jar with holes in the lid and set it in the kitchen or other rooms for a pleasant, long-lasting scent.
As you can see, getting rid of cooking odors in your condo is easier than you think! Whether you live in a condo, apartment, or dorm room, these tips are practical, affordable, and easy to apply. Now you can enjoy your favorite home-cooked meals without the lingering smells.
