I burned my pasta the other day and the smell of smoke is still in the house. Help!

[Testimony]

We put the fan in the windows and opened all the windows the day it happened. It still smells. The problem is that it is 14 degrees today and for the last two days. It is really hard to open windows, but I feel that I am going to have to do it. I am washing my curtains and upholestry. Any other suggestions. Cleaners??

Thank you!

Try leaving a bowl of vinegar out. It can help clean the air.

They even make candles that are unscented that are for this type of thing. I've seen them in several stores.

I've found that simmering a pot of water with cinnamon, maybe some ground cloves, apple peel/core, and/or orange peel gets rid of the worst smells that linger.

making applesauce on the stove or baking something with real vanilla freshen the air inside.
