Doee anyone know how to get rid of the smell of fish?
Last night cooked fish kebabs (lovely by the way) but today when we came back into the house it's stinking of fish!
Is there anything i can do or buy to get rid of it as i have friends coming over the weekend.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
Thanks

Yes, stick a pan of water on to boil with a lemon cut into quarters in it.
Or the same with cinammon sticks instead of lemon.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

And there's an odour removing tip or two in our "Zillions" sticky at the top of the board that might be of help.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

Was going to suggest... bake a nice chocolate cake. It generally takes over and your visitors may enjoy it too!

Open all your windows tomorrow and light some fragranced candles (if you have any) make sure that everything involved in cooking the fish has been washed up and do the boiled lemon thing
Just run, run and keep on running!0 -

I actually do something similar when there are no fishy smells ... simply as an air freshner! LOL I've even resorted to a spoonful of Garma Masala (well out of date in the spice rack - had to use it *somehow*!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi I hope someone here can help me. My husband has been told that he has to eat more fish due to the fact that his cholesterol is high. So last week I cooked smoked mackrel. However the smell is still there every day when I come home from work. For a whole week now.
I have opened all the windows, cleaned, bleached the surfaces etc. Not sure what else I can do.
Any ideas..0 -
Hi Peppa
We have an older thread on fish smells that should be of some help to you and so I've added your post to it.
