I boiled some leaves to help my daughter with a stuffy nose, and the unexpected side effect was the lovely scent that filled the air and took away the horrible smoky smell of the pot I burnt whilst cooking lentils the night before. :-( I thought we'd be living with that smell for a long time (was really bad!) but it seems that the gum leaves literally took it away. It didn't just mask the smell because when the scent from the leaves disappeared, so did the smoky smell! <br /><br />When I took the leaves off the heat, I wondered about using the liquid for cleaning - I cleaned my stove top and the mirror behind it using some of the gum water and a microfibre cloth. Came up beautifully. <br /><br />Then I thought about my horrible blackened pot and poured the rest of the water and leaves into it and let it soak. Not sure if it helped remove the black or not, but it took less effort then I expected to get it clean!<br /><br />I'll be bringing in the leaves from our gum regularly now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940728329760448667.post-75938058779389852852010-08-11T20:04:21.325+08:002010-08-11T20:04:21.325+08:00hmmmmmmmm tried this tonight,, just for the smell
