Post Your Answer To The Question Above:
| Answer: Hi Fiona! I'm sorry to hear about your mishap! I had something somewhat similar happen once: the electricity in my apartment was accidentally shut off for around a week while I was on vacation. When I came back, I had to face the dual horrors of the refrigerator and freezer. Once I had cleaned them as thoroughly as I could, I put down a thick layer of baking soda to absorb the odor. I also tried putting some ground coffee in a dish and putting that in the freezer. Both baking soda and coffee are supposed to be good at absorbing odors. I didn't notice a huge difference after the baking soda, but the coffee really helped. Also, the smell of the coffee helped to mask the grosser smells. I think you should try putting a big, shallow bowl of coffee grounds on the floor of your oven, closing the door, and leaving it for several hours. You might need to change the coffee several times, as it loses its odor absorbing abilities. For the air, I'd try a product that is not just an air freshener, but also an air sanitizer. Also, I'd spray down any fabrics with an odor eliminating spray, or, if possible, wash them in the washing machine. Bad smells can really linger in fabrics. Good luck! |
| Answer: Wow. What a home improvement dilemma. I would try boiling cinnamon on the stove. This is an old trick I learned when selling houses. The smell quickly moves through the houses and gives the sense of home cooked meals (without the burning, obviously!). Good luck! |
