How to remove paint odor for home?
Question:just painted my home, not moved yet, how can i remove paint smell?
Answers:
Open all windows and doors and turn on some fans point the fans outside also get some Fabreze not generic but the real Fabreze just walk around the house spraying it in the air or try Lysol spray.
open windows and doors, the best way to get rid of the smell is to ventilate, not mask it.
open the windows. In future painting projects add a little, about a teaspoon, of vanilla to the paint and mix before painting. That will eliminate the paint smell.
Open all windows is all good and well, but toxins still remain in the air. To get rid of those, NASA did a study on the effects of plants on toxic air and found some plants worked better than others at absorbing the toxins.
The top ten include:
Bamboo Palm, Chinese Evergreen, English Ivy, Gerbera Daisy, Janet Craig, Marginata, Mass cane/Corn Plant,
Mother-in-Law's Tongue, Pot Mum, Peace Lily,
Warneckii

By the time you've moved in and cooked a few meals, it will start to smell like Home!! Just air it our as much as possible. The paint they make today doesn't usually leave much smell for long.
Try buckets or containers of charcoal. It absorbs odors. You could also buy those plug ins and bake something chocolater and open some windows.
