smoke smell
My fiancee and I bought a house and moved in a week ago. Last night I
went to bake some cookies. I did everything right, even setting an egg timer for 10 minutes. Unfortunately, about 7 minutes later I smelled something burning. When I went into the kitchen there was black smoke pouring out of the oven. We ran around opening windows despite the cold and set up fans to blow out the smoke. Unfortunately now most of the first floor smells horrible. I just painted all the walls and laid new carpet as well as wahsed all the clothes and cabinets. Do I have to start all over, or is there some easier way to get rid of the smell quickly and easily? Please help! |

By the way, my fiancee thinks the thermostat is broken on the oven and
that it did not stop heating at 350 degrees like it should have, so now we have to either have it fixed or buy a new one. Talk about bad luck! |

Please help! Try vinegar. Leave uncovered overnight two or more dinner plates with 1/4 inch of vinegar. This was how students used to absorb cigarette smells after late parties. No guarantees but it costs nothing and is worth a try. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Clean the oven as best you can. The smell in the rest of the house will
gradually go away on it's own. |

You could try an Aranizer. I know it removes tobacco odors. I love the
smell of the 'air' that it produces, but a friend doesn't. www.aranizer.com. best prices on a few models: www.fernsnutrition.com |
