So, with the above points in mind, you should be able to work out roughly how much baking powder you’re going to use for your container. At this point, I tend to leave it overnight although I’m not sure that’s necessary to be honest. I just like to give it chance to settle and my theory is that this will help the smell intensify but that’s not based on actual science and could totally be me just trying to put off the hoovering for a bit longer. Edited to add: I just remembered the Nescafe adverts too (or at least I think it was Nescafe). Were they the ads that were like a mini soap opera with a blossoming romance over the space of a few years?
