And on the subject of smells, did you know that an easy way to disperse the unpleasant aromas in the loo is to strike a match and let it burn down? (Cue jokes about naked flames and methane grin)

Just thought, what about Febreze?It works on EVERYTHING in the tv ads.

My MIL used to swear by chopped-up onions to get rid of the smell of new paint.
Only to be used if you prefer the smell of onions! hmm

I get those from Lakeland kitty but have only used them while cooking.I have never tried them to get rid of a smell afterwards when it seems to get into fabrics etc and only time works then. Worth a try.

there is one called Cooks Candle (or something like that!) made by Prices. I burn that when I've been doing anything smelly. It doesn't smell much of anything.

I would burn lots of scented candles and oil burners. Usually works for me.

Open the windows, and wait?

I made a large batch of chutney with windfall apples on Friday and the smell was all pervading throughout the house. With having all the doors and windows open a lot over the weekend, most of the smell has dispersed, but its still quite strong in the kitchen and morning room.

Does anyone have any good tips for getting rid of the smell of vinegar?
