1. Boil water again: One of the simplest ways to remove the disinfectant smell from boiling water is to boil it again for a few minutes until the smell disappears.
2. Let it sit: You can let the water sit for a few hours to let the smell evaporate naturally. Putting it in a container with a lid to prevent contaminants from entering the water might help.
3. Filter or strain: You can also try straining the water through an activated carbon filter or a coffee filter to remove impurities and improve the taste.
4. Add lemon or vinegar: Add some lemon juice or a tablespoon of vinegar, which can help neutralize the taste and smell of chlorine.
5. Leave it in sunlight: Leaving the water in direct sunlight for a few hours can help dissipate the disinfectant odours.
6. Use air stones: Adding air stones to your water before boiling can help decrease its chlorine content as long as the stones are made of materials that don't interact with chlorine, such as glass or silicone.
7. Peppermint: To give the water a refreshing scent, add a couple of drops of peppermint oil, which has antiseptic properties.
8. Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal cartridges or tablets can also be used to eliminate chlorine odours and impurities in drinking water.
