If you use the spray type,to eliminate cooking odors, which do you like best?

95% of the time I turn on exhaust in kitchen.  I like Fabreze the best otherwise and Ocean is my favorite.

We never use products like these. I don't think synthetic fragrances are healthy, especially for our cat. I prefer opening windows or the door to the deck, just off the dining area.

I light soy candles instead of using spray air freshners....

I either bake cookies or put a pan of water with ginger, cinnamon, and clove on the stove to simmer. I don't like chemical fresheners.

Remember, citrus magic? I use to use that, going to try again.

@goldensrbest   I know you have cold winters where you are so opening windows may not always be the best solution for you.

I do not use commercial sprays but you can make your own.

Spray bottle (4oz size)

30 drops of essential oil (lavender is always a fave)

1 TBS witch hazel (or rubbing alcohol)

Swirl a few times to combine the oils and witch hazel

Then add:

1/2 C distilled water (you can use tap but the scent can be "off")  You should have a little room left at the top for shaking before use.

There are commerically made natural fresheners out there-just be careful about ingredients.

Lysol.  Its the only thing I use.  I quit using the "smelly" ones a long time ago.

@occasionalrain   I am going to sit outside your windows and enjoy the scent coming from your stove!!  What a nice idea.  There might be a trip to the spice aisle for me this week.

Not one particular scent. I buy several kinds and alternate.
