Removing Garlic Smell infiltrating from neighbours kitchen through gaps in adjoining wall
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas which are effective at removing the smell of garlic. The problem with extraction fans and opening some windows to vent it out is that it just draws more in air from the neighbours kitchen through the cracks in the wall and makes it worse. I have a circulating fan in the Kitchen with…

I use the oven maybe once a week, though this week is unusual and I’ll be baking on three days. When I do use an…
