Danny Seo's Do Just One Thing

May 4: One of the most powerful spices that can be used for purposes other than cooking is cinnamon. To remove odors from the air in your home, boil a few sticks of cinnamon in water and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. The active ingredient in cinnamon — cinnamaldehyde, which gives the spice its flavor and scent — attaches to odor molecules in the air and naturally neutralizes them. Instead of masking the smell of last night's fish or a burnt casserole, cinnamon actually helps to give your home the scent of pure clean: absolutely nothing.
