For this "recipe", I used the Little Dipper crockpot slow cooker as an air freshener or odor neutralizer.
If
you don't have a Little Dipper you can certainly use a larger size crockpot -- whatever you already have in the house.
Feel free to eyeball the quantities!

--water
--baking soda (for the little dipper, I used 3 tablespoons)
--crockpot
The Directions.
Pour water into the crockpot you are going to use.
Add baking soda.
Mix.
Plug it in and turn to low (the Little Dipper and some of the small ones don't have settings, they just plug in).
Keep the lid off.
Let the baking soda do the job of soaking up unpleasant odors.
If
you would prefer to use the crockpot as an air freshener, fill with water, and add:
--drops of essential oil
--potpourri scent
--2 teaspoons of vanilla or other desired extract
--ground cinnamon, and cloves
--a cinnamon stick
--slices of lemon
The Verdict.
I think you will be quite pleased with how the baking soda really does absorb
kitchen and other around-the-house icky odors!
I ended up cooking 6 corned beefs on Saturday for St.. Patrick's Day and the next morning plugged in 2 slow cookers to "air out" the house.
The weather is still pretty unpredictable, here, and although I would have LOVED to open all the doors and windows, the kids were cold.
;-)
So I did one in the kitchen with water and
baking soda only and then another in the play room with water and a few cinnamon sticks.
It worked!!
