Can white wine vinegar be used to remove smells?
White vinegar and white wine vinegar can be used to wash objects that have acquired an odor, including especially porous objects. Any vinegar will do the deodorizing job, but red and other colored vinegars usually stain the objects as they deodorize them. Vinegar is not potpourri, however, and doesn’t remove odors from air or other gases. If you want to remove odors from air, burn something. Candles are traditional. Just don’t leave the candles unattended, or the smell you end up with is going to be heart-breaking. If not deadly.
