We have combined kitchen and living room and whenever I have cooked its just a headache when someone is coming over as its still smelling of food/cooking.
Any good idea on how to get rid of the smell? Can I have a plant in the kitchen that can kind of absorb the smell??? plzzz help
Re: How to get rid of the smell?
Couple of things that we learned ..
invest in two box fans (maybe 12-15 dollars each) and put that in window facing outwards. Let them run for an hour. They work like a charm.
Cook druring day time, late morning/early after noon when there is sunlight, Sun light is the best deodarizer.
Agar batti only makes it worst so avoid that :D
If you can sprinkle Baking soda on carpet, leave it for a while and vaccum it, that should help.
Scented candles help a lot

Re: How to get rid of the smell?
charcoal filtered aircleaners. u can get box fans with charcoal filters that remove odors very quickly.
120 for fan
50 for filter

Re: How to get rid of the smell?
TLK
a cheaper solution btw is to attach the charcoal filer to a regular box fan with tape, save 120 bucks and buy more flakes.

turn on all fans ( whichever) , & open all windows during cooking & keep them on around 1/2 hr after finishing , that also helps , also try to keep other room doors closed and get done with cooking around 2-3 hrs before yr guests arrival
i had the same kitchen-living room combo sometime back & that's what i used to do , also use scented candles & room sprays

Its freaking cold and I get backache when I open the windows for long time. I turn on the fan when cooking on full speed but its not veyr efficient.
Perhaps I can try the scented candles.
Re: How to get rid of the smell?
okay so during winters i used to do the same but only after gotten done with cooking & left that place ( like went to another room)for a while so that i won't get cold n sneeze
Re: How to get rid of the smell?
u can also use air sprayers, the best i've found is Febreze's pet deodorizer... seriously, it works great..
Re: How to get rid of the smell?
k.. so my mom got this totka by one of her friends.. while ur cooking put a small saucepan on the smaller element.. and fill it halfway with water and put a cinnamon stick and bay leaf in it.. let it simmer on low heat.. and keep it on low.. while ur cooking.. itll absorb all the smell of the khaana shaana.. and it actually works.. i went over to my moms and she had cookd a tonnnnn of food and it didnt smell AT ALL!!
good luck!!

^thats a good one!
scented candles work VERY well. my parents are the same way, they hate any smell aftr cooking so everyday my mom lights up 2 candles and opens up all the windows.
