Fish fried sometimes has awful smell inside the house.. how tø get rid of smell?

Regular air freshener won't do the job. You can use an aromatherapy oil burner. You can burn bergamot oil, orange or lemon oil. Bergamot particularly smells good. Or you can use incense. Pine scent is ok as well. The area will smell clean. After frying the fish you can wet a rug using Lysol disinfectant to wipe the walls so the splattered oil won't stick on the walls. Recently I saw a new Lysol product called Neutra Air. I believe this product eliminates unwanted odors.

I got this way back in My Chemistry CLass, How to get rid of odors, Just light one Matchstick, the smoke form the matchstick will eliminate odor, it may take two to three matchstick to get rid of foul ones.

Opening the doors and windows seems to be the best bet…gradually the smell just goes away and you can of course spray some room freshener too! However, I don’t somehow like the combination of room freshener and fried fish smell…it kind of makes the air heavier and the odor just lingers on.

I open the doors and window while or after cooking and and use some freshener....It takes time to get rid but hubby has to deal with it, I can't help but to miss fried fish!

I guess it depends on what kind of fish your frying but I've never had it leave a awful smell in my house, it always smells good to me. I guess you could light candles or something, or use some kind of air freshener.

You can burn a candle, that always helps.

i used to find it very cumbersome till a few years ago when a friend suggested i use the microwave for frying the fishes,now there is almost no smell.and also i have installed a exhaust fan.

For me I think you can use as an alternative placing sliced lemons in the house. I think that helps to eliminate the odor without spending much on commercial sprays. Good day.

The best bet is to spray the room with air freshner, your stove may have an air vent turn it when cooking and so the smells goes out

Wow, it is really annoying for the try fish smell full of the house. The best way to get rid of the ordor is pushing the air to circulate otherwise no matter how you spray the frebreeze, air wick, oust or frangrance, it is useless. What is the worse, it will mix the smell full of complication, which is assumed to sofucate. Why can't you open the window to let the odor go outside? I am just curious for that. If it really can not, I suggest you to buy a air refresher to fix outside the window to help, then light an odor eliminator or put a lemon against the air outlet of the refresher. Hope that it could help and have a nice day.

Hi Bebs! In my house that is also my concern, so i had an exshaust fan installed in my kitchen which i turned on everytime i cook. I also cover the frying pan during cooking, especially when cooking dried fish. This minimizes the strong smell from spreading around the house. When i open the pan to check if the fish is already done i do it hurriedly to contain the smell. After cooking, i wipe the stove and the kitchen counter where the stove is with a rug soaked in dilluted dishwashing liquid. Wring it first, it must not be too wet. If the smell still stay, you may spray an air freshner.

You can use charcoal just try to put at the corner of your kitchen counter were you usually do your cooking, or try to put exhaust fan at your kitchen.

Not being a person that spends a lot of time in a kitchen, I still know how frying something will leave to an awful smell that gets trapped with the house. And fish is really bad about leaving a bad smell. However, if you mix vinegar and water in a bottle and spray it into the air, it does get rid of the odor. The aroma of the vinegar and water mixture isn't great to begin with but all of the smells will leave rather quickly once it is sprayed.

There are a few things that you can spray that will help you to get rid of any smell in a household. You can spray Oust into the air, and it will help to get rid of those odors. You can spray Febreeze onto material, like sofas, loveseats, curtains and any other material and it will remove the odors. You can also burn candles, and they will help to make your house smell refreshed. Lysol has products to help remove odors from the air as well as sanitize them, in addition to their products that sanitize and get rid of germs. I hope this information is a bit helpful to you. It may also be helpful to quickly wash up the pans right after cooking, and to quickly wash up the dishes right after everyone is finished with dinner. However, no matter what you do, I am sure there will still be a bit of an odor leftover. Good luck to you in finding all kinds of new tricks!

You can always use air freshener after frying the fish... that will help eliminate the smell... the kitchen in my apartment is at the very back and the space is open... so i do not have a problem with this... when i am frying fish... i just close the windows and door so that the smell won't enter the apartment...

Yes, it does leave awful smell especially if the kitchen is not naturally ventilated. Well, I read somewhere that boiling lemon juice will help remove the bad smell. Try it my friend, I think it will be helpful because lemon is a good odor neutralizer. Also they say that leaving baking soda in open container to absorb the odor is also helpful.. I hope those tips will be helpful to you!

Simple, don't cook fried fish.lol nah, just kidding! When I used to live in CA with my boyfriend, I tried to cook dried fish as well and the smell really stank the whole area. So I ask my guy to open all the windows, switch on the electric fan(i'm glad he had that!) then sprayed lysol all over the area.

When the weather does not permit me to just open the doors and windows to air out the house after cooking something that leaves an offensive odor, I usually use something like Frebreeze, Air Wick or Oust. These products eliminate odors and freshen the air. They don't just cover up or mask the smell with fragrance. If I am out of them, then I just wipe my counters with clorox wipes or I light an odor eliminator candle. These also help to reduce the smell significantly. A tip I learned a long time ago for getting the smell of onions or fish, etc., off of your hands when you cook is to rub salt or lemon on your hands and then wash them thoroughly with a scented soap. Works great for me every time.
