Did you know that, in addition to adding a beautiful, robust flavor to baked goods, like cookies and cakes, pure vanilla extract makes an astonishingly productive cleaning solution? Yep, you read that right! Vanilla extract. According to world-renowned vanilla brand Nielsen-Massey, vanilla extract can be used to wipe down sinks, microwaves, and fridges with a standard sponge. Dealing with a stinky garbage disposal? Just freeze a mixture of vanilla and lemon extracts and water in an ice cube tray, drop them down the drain, and let 'er rip! The odor will disappear faster than a freshly baked cookie. Vanilla extract, as you can probably imagine, emits a lovely aroma anywhere it's present, which is why Nielsen-Massey also recommends soaking a cotton ball with a few teaspoons of it and placing it in a small bowl for a simple, affordable, safe DIY air freshener.
Other consumables that also act as tried and true cleaning companions include vinegar, lemons, salt, baking soda, and walnuts, per Good Housekeeping.
