Title: Lingering Curry Smell.
Post by: uclown2002 on December 14, 2013, 12:48 PM
Apparently my small house stinks of curry although I only notice in kitchen!

Had some visitors at the door asking if I've been cooking curry, although might have been 3-4 days since!

I can't smell it but daughter complaining that her clothes smell.

Anyway to the point; any recommendations to eliminate/minimise the curry smell?

Got 3 x plug in air fresheners throughout the house but obviously not working well enough.

The only thing I know of that can reliably remove the lingering smell of curry from fabrics, carpets, curtains and the like is an ozone generator (http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/ozone-generator), which will oxidise the offending particles.  Not cheap, but if SWMBO is complaining you may have no choice ...

Not on the basis of personal experience, but comparing prices and specifications I would be inclined to have a punt on one of this range (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/ozonemaster03/m.html?item=331086589131&pt=UK_Baby_Baby_Feeding_Bottle_Warmers_Coolers_LE&hash=item4d164c6ccb&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562).

I can't vouch for them as I've never used one, but you might consider this product:

My house smells like a takeaway but a few Yankee candles does the trick for me
