When I was little I remember women use to to this when an elderly person was confided to bed. Cleaned the air of the off smells. Much more natural then canned air fresheners.
That would make sense- a bowl or two of vinegar in a room will remove bad odors or smoke. Many years ago a neighbor forgot eggs on the stove and they boiled dry and scorched. He couldn't get rid of the smell. I told him about the vinegar and he reluctantly tried it. He was so surprised how well it worked.
