out of the house. And of course it's all the fault of iVillage and mostly THIS board, need I say! LOL    While playing  on the boards last night.... waiting for our dinner to warm up on the stove.... I (and dh too) totally forgot about the dinner,,,, and after about 1.5 hrs.... yes I'm addicted , and it's SICK,SICK, SICK !!!!     WEll dh got up to get a drink of water and opened the kitchen door, and the smoke just poured out into the rest of the house.... he was like "hmmm, I think something is burning...." the pan was way too hot  to pick up even with hot pads....  the enitre house filled up with smoke.....   and now I ask you all ........................


How do you get this smell out of the house?  I've had all the doors and windows and fans on last night into the night and all day today. and nothing yet.... of course it's better but  OMG,,,,, it's choking me....  you can't imagine... I have boiled  apples and cinnamon  and don't know what to do ? I've washed down the counters and washed the curtains,  took out all the rests and paper adn anyting that sopped up the smell... but it went all the way up to ds's room on the 4th floor.... a real chimney effect..... 


HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear, Suzan! Have you tried lighting some scented candles? What about some vinegar...can you put it in a pot and maybe boil it? I'm not sure...just an idea.

Hey Suzan,
Um .. keep all the windows open today as well as fans going.
Burn some sweet smelling incense/candles.
Can so relate ::blush::
Let us know if that helps :)

I would agree w/boiling lots of white vinegar. You want to eliminate the smell, not just mask it with other smells.
