The advantage of glass jars is not only that they make food last longer, but they are also more durable and look aesthetically pleasing compared to jars made from other materials. It's not surprising that many mothers enjoy collecting this jar in their kitchen cupboard, right?
However, glass jars that have been used many times usually become musty inside. Many people think that washing them with water and soap will successfully remove the musty smell in glass jars, but that's not necessarily true, you know.
So, to get rid of the musty smell in the glass jar , you can sprinkle it with baking soda. It is believed that baking soda can absorb unpleasant aromas in the jar. However, if you don't have baking soda in stock, don't worry, because there is still one more trick. This trick for getting rid of the smell of apples in glass jars was shared by mothers on the TikTok account @umimaull.
