Brilio.net - Jars are essential home furnishings that are often used as containers for various foods, such as spices, crackers, and snacks. Because they are airtight, food in jars can last longer.

However, jars also have a drawback, namely that the inside can smell rancid. This smell is usually caused by leftover food. The longer the jar is closed, the stronger the rancid smell will be. Although this smell can disappear on its own if the jar is left open, the process takes a long time, especially if the smell is very strong.

As a solution, some people deliberately burn newspapers in the jar. This method is considered effective in neutralizing the rancid smell inside. Unfortunately, this method risks exposing your hands to fire if not done carefully.

To get around this, you can imitate what TikTok user @umimaull did. In her video upload, she only used one kitchen spice to remove the rancid smell in the jar. Curious about how to do it?

As reported by brilio.net from TikTok @umimaull on Wednesday (29/1), the kitchen spice used is salt. The method is to put 1 tablespoon of salt into a jar then close it tightly.
