How to remove paint odor

It's time of the year again. Christmas is just around the corner and many of us will start decorating our houses and surely some of us will paint our house and lawn. The beautiful paint, the new furniture is mesmerizing...but what about the odor. Oh my, that new paint odor will surely give me a migraine and nausea. Some of us have surely tried to use fan and open all the windows and doors to remove the odor but did that really help? or did it make the situation worst?

What I did to remove the odor in just 1 hour and the odor vanished. Here is a simple remedy. Take one lemon and slice it into 6 pieces. Take 2 bowls and fill it with water. Then add about 2 big spoon of salt and stir until the salt dilute. Then into each bowl, put in 3 slices of lemons and put the bowl at the corner of each painted section. After 30 minutes, the color of the water will change and reflect the color of the paint. That means it's absorbing the chemicals in the paint. This will not only remove odor but also the chemicals we inhale. Once the odor has vanished the water and lemon can be thrown away.

This method is not only for paint odor but can be used to eliminate cigarette odor. For smokers who smoke in the house, the odor and chemicals will linger around the house so with this method, it helps to remove dangerous chemicals brought by the cigarette smoke. I hope this method will work for you because it worked for me. Happy trying and good luck. Happy Holidays!
