How do you get a strong fish odor out of the kitchen after it is cooked?
Question:
Answers:
Wash all the utensils used in cooking, ventilate the kitchen and try cleaning the filter in the fume hood over the stove.
I open the windows. If that doesn't work, make cookies!
I open up and light a scented candle...but I really like the cookie idea!
ginger. Better still dont cook fish inside the house unless it is baked or steamed.
put cut up lemon in the garbage disposal and let it run.
open a box of baking powder and put it out on the counter. Also, try mopping the floor, and that will help get something better smelling in the air. Open a window and boil water on the stove with some Cinnamon, orange peels, lemon, or something like that so that the smell spreads throughout the kitchen.
Be sure to clean up the stove top with windex to help get rid of any fish or oil splatters. And take all of the fishy garbage out of the house... including the frying oil. Wash the frying pan with hot water and soap.
Then use an air freshener. I have also used candles. I burn them after I clean up the counters, the stove top and the sink. Just be careful they are in a safe place... blow them out before you leave or go to bed.
And bake some chocolate chips cookies... they smell great and help clear the air.
Mix apple cider vinegar with baking soda into a spray bottle and spray your home. If you get some onto your furniture it's fine, the smell disappears along with the fish smell. Make sure you have your windows open though to ventilate too. Oh, and next time when you cook fish, boil some apple cider vinegar while you are cooking. It'll stop the spread of the smell before it gets out of hand.
Put a pan of vinegar on the stove and boil. Do not let the pan boil dry. Just bring to a boil and let the vinegar continue to boil for a few minutes then turn the heat off. Let the pan of vinegar set on the stove top until it has cooled. Then pour the vinegar down your drain. It will help with any odors in your drain.
I have done it 2 ways 1) use a vanilla candle when i cook fish 2) cut up a lemon and place a few wedges in a glass microwavable jar for 1-2 minutes.
Wait. Time is the only remedy.
light a candle, let it burn while you are cooking and shortly after then blow it out....should take most of the smell out of your kitchen
This is what I'd do. Backing Soda or Vinegar are both odor removers. I'd take one or the other in small containers and set them around your kitchen with the windows open. It works for me.
There are several things you can do:
Light scented candles
Boxes of Baking Soda
Fe-breeze sprayed on curtains, rugs and such
Air Neutralizers
Potpourri
Clean areas with a lemon based cleanser. It neutralizes the smell.
put some vinegar and water in a pot and let it boil on the stove for a while .
This may sound crazy but.Set out a small bowl of baking soda, and a seperate bowl of white vinegar. Both of these bowls will absorb any nasty odor. Also you could open the windows & set a fan facing out in the window.
squeeze lemon on your countertops and wipe down.
or use febreeze or oust. it eliminates odors quickly and smells great.
Fry some garbage with the windows closed. This should do the trick.
move?
First make sure you dispose of the oil you used (if used). Wash everything that touched the fish. Spray kitchen with Oust.
boil some lemons in water and let sit, this works for microwaves too.
