Fishy Smell!!!!

[mancmo]

Hope you can help me!

I cooked....well, burnt a piece of salmon Thursday night, and I just can't get the smell out of my house. Ive no kitchen door and the smell has wafted up the stairs to the bedrooms!!

I have used Oust, candles, room freshner and left windows and doors opened, but the smell is still there!!!

If anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of this minging smell, it would be very much appreciated!!!!!!!

I don't know if this will cure but it might help!
Place a pan of water on the hob, add some lemon juice, bring to the boil, simmer for about half an hour, topping up the water if necessary. Bottled lemon juice can be used for this, use in the ratio of 5 parts water to 1 part of lemon juice. Leave the lid off the pan while you are doing this.

I have always found Neutradol Airfreshener range to be great at getting rid of smells; they don't just mask them

Try incense sticks. Be careful though because if you pick the wrong fragrance they are worse than other smells. I sometimes use a honey scented one and they smell quite nice, not too strong. They make the kitchen smell nice after cooking really strong food.

Bicarbonate of Soda will absorb smells, its used in fridges. The lemon is good too, on the cooker and in the microwave in a bowl of water. Throw any old hard lemons into the dishwasher for a freshen up and always down a waste disposal.
Other than that, wash wash and wash again. Fabrics will hold smells and no spraying of them is truly effective compared to a wash.
Paintwork and walls will all benefit from a wash down with a nice smelling detergent.
In future, try your salmon in the microwave with a lid or in foil in the oven, cuts down mess and all smells.

ps. the onion is good too and certainly great for when painting with gloss, it really helps cut down the vapours
