How to get rid of an obnoxious smell in the house?

[lily25]

For eeeww smells in the house (I always burn the food I cook), boil a pan of milk, orange peels and cinammon sticks.
Good luck!

If I burn dinner (which is quite often) the best thing I find is to open all windows and doors and try and create a drawing draft out the doors with fans, plus I put our exhaust fan above the cook top on flat out.

Even though I like candles (for mood and effect), I find that trying to mask the burnt smell (or any smell) with a fragrant smell only makes it worse, so I spray with a no/low fragrant product that contains Baking Soda - it seems to absorb smells quite well.

Fabreeze helps a lot as well. I like it because it doesn't mask an odor. I don't know what is in it, but it works!

The smell finally went away. It was awful! BF got home from the gym and the smell about knocked him over

LOL abbygirl! Your post cracked me up.

Note to self - do not try to "stir fry" with just Pam on high heat. Add a little bit of olive oil. I think that's where I went wrong :shame:
