    Default Removing Curry Smell From Apartment

    I do enjoy curry. However my apartment has been smelling like it for a couple of days. Today I tried the Febreeze on sofas, curtains, and baking soda on carpet. Hope this does it.

    Does anyone have any other ways to do this?

    How about simmering some vinegar on the stove?

    I would try spraying some Oust. Supposedly that is more of an air sanitizer than Fabreeze or Lysol (where they just cover up odors).

    When in doubt you could cook some cabbage - that'll take over!!!!

    If it's not too cold where you are, I'd open all the windows to let everything air out. Then I'd febreeze and oust the crud out of everything

    Yes I did try the simmering vinegar, also put some lemon in it but didn't work. And keeping my windows open.

    Today was the first day I came home from my walk and the place didn't smell like curry. Yea!

    Thanks for the ideas. I was hoping to hear some ideas where chemicals were not involved.

    The last time I cooked a soup that had curry in it, my house smelled of it for days! If it's not too cold - air out your apartment. If it is too cold, I find scented candles work really well - something spicy like cinnamon seems to get rid of most smells.

    I usually have to open windows and doors and turn on fans to air out our house when we make curry.
