Odors From Cooking Chinese Food

RE: Odors From Cooking Chinese Food Post By Ann (Guest Post) (10/15/2005) Try boiling vinegar on the stove. You can use straight vinegar or add some water. If it's grease on the walls, then you need to spray the walls with vinegar and wipe.

A real estate agent made the same comment to me years ago about grease infiltrating every nook and cranny of the house. RE: Odors From Cooking Chinese Food Post by jillian357 (27) | (10/13/2005) Contact There is an air freshener I purchased at Meijer. It was around $3.50. It is orange scented and has charcoal in it which absorbs odors. It is a round plastic bowl. White in color. You just peel off the top and after about a month the gel inside dries up. I use them in closets and have 1 in my car. They are pretty strong scented. It was on the top shelf with the other air freshners. RE: Odors From Cooking Chinese Food Post By Mary (Guest Post) (10/13/2005) The smell is from grease. Tiny droplets of it have infiltered your whole house, the walls, the drapes, your clothing, the bedding, etc. The problem with frying foods indoors is that the grease goes rancid after attaching itself to various surfaces. Not very pleasant. Washing soda and water will cut the grease from most surfaces. It may be hard to clean your curtains, bedspread, etc. as often as is necessary to stay ahead of this problem. I agree with the person here who suggested moving. I too cannot tolerate the smell of grease in the house!

A fan by a window , with another window slightly open to create a cross draft, should help. Of course, with winter coming, it might get chilly! Is moving out of the picture? It sounds like the tension of the situation could be really upsetting.

She said it was to help get rid of the smell (after cooking). I don't know how effective it was since asian cooking smells don't bother me.
