How garlic can help get rid of a bad odour, as posted on Curbly by infekta:

One day a specific area in my apartment smelled like a dead mouse….My mother suddenly recalled something my grandmother once said: “peel the shell from the garlic and cut it in to little pieces and put it where you think the smell is coming from”.

Said and done, and within a few hours the odour was gone. Thank goodness, I couldn’t stand the smell… This has happened twice now and each time at different locations. It’s really weird.

Has anyone of you experienced something like this?

Ps. If it still smells when the garlic has dried (it will sooner or later) all you have to do is to cut off the dry parts and you can use them again…
