how do i get rid of the salmon smell?

[hermykne]

cooked 3 ngihts ago , have cleaned cooker, worktop, the lot and its still lingering

any old wives tales to banish it?

bicarb of soda all the way.

Slice of dry bread, absorbs the odours too and cut lime to freshen.

You can mix bicarb with lemon juice and water to make a spray that will help. To clean surfaces you can make a paste with bicarb and a little water which you plaster onto your surfaces, scrub in, leave for a while then wash off.

oh thanks so much - so guess i m cleaning the kitchen tonight AGAIN

Bicarb of soda got rid of the smell of Abroath smokies. Those are pretty powerful, too.

I buy it by the 5L drum from a soap making supplier.

The drum makes a great planter, too, after use. A joinery down the street punches holes in the bottom for me.

You could try just leaving a bowl of bicarb in the room to absorb the smells, but if it's really, really stinky scrubbing is probably the only answer.

Price's makes a candle, available on their website and also thru Lakeland, that absorbs ANYTHING. It's called a Chef's candle and is only about £3.50.
