mystie Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I live in a very small flat and the smells of cooking are really hard to get rid of after teatime. Also other people in my building cook curries a lot and those smells can drift in from time to time, not to mention my neighbour's wacky backy. So what's the best solution? Bearing in mind my flat is clean and I use scented candles but they are veery expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhippy Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yep, citrus is very good for cleaning the air, but I'm not so sure about the wallpaper ....... sure there was another thread somewhere the other day about the wallpaper thing ......

christait Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 got to go with the onions too. Onions got rid of the smell of some milk that spilt into a carpet and was allowed to fester for a bit. Failing that loads of ventalation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinklady Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Vinilla pods work a treat, place one pod in a bowl of boiling water, put 2 or 3 bowls around the place, they smell fab too ________ Half-Baked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbird Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Can't beat fresh air leave the window open in the kitchen while you cook, and keep other doors shut to stop the smells spreading. I have to do this myself because my house is tiny and i cannot sleep if i can smell anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
