Kitchen Smells

happy35

I was like this when pregnant, even the smell of water made me sick!!!

I used to cook with the windows open and leave them open for a little while after the washing up had been done and this did remove most of the cooking smells

Snap - and after finishing, close the kitchen door and leave an outside door or window open. I left the window on half catch all night, smell will most definately be gone by morning!

Opening the windows in summer is fine and that is what we usually do, but when it's barely above freezing, it's a tad too cold for that. Plus my kitchen is at the front of my house, so opens onto the street. I don't fancy leaving the window open (its a big window) where people are walking past.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

As for matches, maybe that has something to do with the ehow link that was listed earlier. More research me thinks.

Do you have the window open while cooking as this makes a huge difference.

Not at the moment cos it is bleedin' freezing!

Not really a solution to your problem but I have heard that ginger is very good for nausea. Think you can make a sort of tea with fresh ginger root and hot water.

Thanks. She has been having the odd ginger nut biscuit and they help. She doesn't get the nausea really bad, but is very susceptible to smells, and chicken seems to be the worst.

I think that the problem is you are replacing one smell with another! I prefer to keep the kitchen window open as much as possible. Neutradol is good but does have a smell. I knew someone who was a smoker and had cats and swore by it. A saucer of bicarb absorbs smells (I keep one in the fridge) A pile of newspapers also absorbs smells if it's a small kitchen.
If your partner doesn't mind a 'replacement' smell, a tumble dryer sheet hung on the radiator smells nice first thing in the morning as they have a 'fresh' fragrance.
