The room is full of smoke, either because the food is scorched or people smoke make the atmosphere very uncomfortable. If you're bothered by smoke, try to deal with it by removing or removing the source of the smoke, bringing fresh air into the room, and removing unpleasant odors. In addition, take precautions so that the room is smoke-free.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Blowing Smoke from the Room
Step 1. Find the source of the smoke, then remove or remove it from the room
If the smoke is coming from cooking utensils, scrape any charred food that's stuck to the pot or pan and place it in the trash can in your yard. If the smoke comes from tobacco, remove cigarettes, cigars, and other objects used when smoking.
If the smoke is coming from a freshly extinguished candle, ashtray, or cigarette butt, remove it outdoors or place it in a closed container
Step 2. Open doors and windows to let out the smoke
You need to open at least 2 windows or 2 doors that are opposite each other. Thus, fresh air will flow in from a door or window that is open on one side and exhale smoke through the other side.
Step 3. Use a wet towel if ventilation is inadequate
Soak a towel in a basin of water or vinegar solution, then wring it out so the water doesn't drip. Rotate the towel overhead like helicopter blades in areas where there is still smoke. Swish the towel over an open door or window to allow the smoke to flow out.
Step 4. Place a fan in an open window to let out the smoke trapped in the room
Purchase a fan at a home supply store or supermarket. Place the fan facing an open window to let air flow out, then turn it on. The rotation of the blades will suck the smoke trapped in the room and blow it out.
Method 2 of 3: Removing the Smell of Smoke
Step 1. Put the lemon slices in boiling water to get rid of the smoke smell
Lemon contains natural oils that are useful for eliminating the smell of smoke in a closed room if there is no air ventilation or the smell of smoke has not gone away. Prepare 1-2 slices of lemon, put it in a skillet filled with water, then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
Do not throw away the lemon slices because the natural oil content in lemon slices is very high
Step 2. Use slices of bread if lemon wedges don't solve the problem
Soak a piece of bread in a bowl of vinegar, then place it in an area that still smells smoke. Bread soaked in kitchen vinegar can eliminate the smell of smoke. Throw the bread in the trash when the smell of smoke is gone.
Many people don't like the smell of kitchen vinegar because it is very strong, but once the bread is removed, the vinegar smell goes away
Step 3. Use vanilla extract if the vinegar smell is bothering you
If the smell of vinegar is more problematic than the smell of smoke, choose another, more pleasant scent. Dip a cotton swab in the vanilla extract, then place it in a room that still smells like smoke.
- If you don't like the smell of vanilla, choose a different scent, such as almond, orange, coconut, fennel, and so on!
- In addition to using the extract, prepare a bowl of ground coffee, then place it in a room that still smells of smoke.
Step 4. Use air freshener spray or disinfectant to remove stubborn odors
Many products are in the form of sprays that are useful for removing unpleasant odors in the house. In fact, certain products are made with a special formula that is effective in eliminating the smell of smoke. You can buy it at the supermarket or through a website and spray if needed.
Step 5. Use an essential oil diffuser to remove smoke odors with natural ingredients
Purchase a diffuser and essential oils at the store. Open the diffuser cover, then add water to the maximum filling limit. Pour a few drops of essential oil with a scent you like, put the diffuser cover on, then turn it on.
- To anticipate an allergic reaction, drop a few drops of oil the first time you use it.
- Place the diffuser in a place that does not block people from passing, for example in the corner of the room.
Method 3 of 3: Take Precautions to Keep the Room Smoke Free
Step 1. Make sure there are no sources of smoke in the room so that you are free from the siege and smell of smoke
Don't let smoke fill the room by reminding guests that they are not allowed to smoke. Post a no smoking sign on the wall if necessary. Some guests may be annoyed, but once they leave you are smoke free.
Step 2. Open the window before cooking
Before boiling or grilling any smoked food item, open the window and turn on the fan to escape the suffocating smoke!
Step 3. Use a stove smoker to keep the kitchen smoke free
This tool is installed above the stove and serves as an air vent to drain the smoke out of the house. Despite the considerable investment, the experience of cooking in a smoky kitchen is never to be repeated.
Step 4. Change the air duct filter regularly
Air duct filters are often a source of unpleasant odors. If it is dirty, the bad smell from the filter will be carried into the house. You can breathe fresh air if the air filter is clean.
Consider subscribing to an air duct cleaning service to have the filters cleaned or replaced regularly
Step 5. Decorate the house with plants that can clean the air
Studies show that some plants can improve indoor air quality, such as mother-in-law's tongue (sanseviera), peace lilies, paris lilies, green ivory betel, yellow ivory betel, and air plant (tillandsias). You can buy it at a houseplant store or through a website. Besides being useful, ornamental plants are pleasing to the eye!
