Brilio.net - The sink is the most frequently used area in the kitchen. Not only for washing dishes and kitchen utensils, the sink is also used to clean food ingredients. This causes the sink to become damp and dirty.
The damp and dirty sink conditions usually spread to the surrounding area, including under the sink. This kitchen area is often overlooked because it is far from reach. However, because it is located near the damp sink, this area can also be prone to dirt.
Not only that, the smell of the drain can also evaporate. This certainly makes the area under the sink also have an unpleasant odor. This odor can be exacerbated by the position of the closed sink.
In some kitchen designs, sometimes the area under the sink is used as a storage shelf. Just like shelves in general, shelves under the sink are also often designed with doors as a cover. This kind of shelf design certainly traps the odor in the area under the sink and makes it even more pungent.
To eliminate the odor, it is not enough to just clean the area under the sink with soap. Other methods are needed to eradicate the unpleasant odor.
Luckily, a YouTube user with an account named SanGreat Natural Indonesia once shared a trick using two easily available kitchen ingredients to solve this problem.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube SanGreat Natural Indonesia on Wednesday (11/12), the kitchen ingredients used are baking soda and coffee powder.

The method is quite easy. Put baking soda and ground coffee in two different bowls. Then place them in the area under the sink. Furthermore, the YouTube user also explains the two functions of these kitchen ingredients.
" Baking soda to neutralize bad odors. While coffee powder to remove odors," said YouTube SanGreat Natural Indonesia.

So, the bad smell in the area under the sink will be absorbed by baking soda . Then the smell will be replaced with a delicious and fragrant coffee aroma. To make it last longer, don't forget to replace the baking soda and ground coffee regularly.
In the same video, YouTube user SanGreat Natural Indonesia not only explains how to eliminate bad odors. He also reveals a trick to prevent moisture in the area under the sink. That way, the area under the sink can be free from mold.

The first trick is to routinely open the shelf under the sink periodically. This aims to circulate air. So, the air inside can come out and be replaced with new air or wind coming in.
Also, do not place wet furniture under the sink. Make sure the furniture is completely dry and free of water if you are going to store it under the sink. This will minimize moisture and mold in the area.
For maximum results, you can also install lights under the sink. Lights with batteries that can turn on and off automatically will certainly be very useful for warming the area under the sink. Not only does it help minimize moisture and odor, it also helps prevent animals from entering or nesting under the sink.
