vinegar; was: Burnt smell throughout abode...

i buy white vinegar by the gallon, too.

Works as a cleaning solution for so many things.

Never thought to use it for clearing the air though.

Good tip. Thanks.

You're welcome! Another tip - you know those oil sprayers, where you

pump the lid to pressurize it so it sprays like an aerosol? I had two

of them, use one for olive oil that I use for cooking & baking, but I

found I just didn't use the second one. I put white vinegar in that

and it's just awesome for windows and mirrors, and I spray the

countertops once a week or so.

Unfortunately the vinegar didn't work for me (maybe I didn't put enough in

the bowl or maybe the " apple cider " variety doesn't work). My worst

nightmare occurred - My place smelled like burnt vinegar, LOL. Oh well,

no biggie. Airing it out today.

Ack, burnt vinegar, eh? Sorry! It usually works for me, but I think

the vinegar on rag might be better than the bowls (which did you do?)

- I usually just spray it around in the air and on the counters (as

per my previous message about the pumping oil sprayer). Last night I

was just too tired to post many details beyond the link...

I just placed some in a bowl as one tip suggested. It wasn't regular vinegar

and I didn't leave it out past a couple of hours.

Oh Amy no worries at all, P-LEASE! It may have worked if I had put some

effort into beyond setting a dish out. I just aired it out today and it's

nearly gone except the kitchen. It's no biggie. I'll just have to cook

something that smells really good!

 

Take care,

Shawn ))

Hope you figure out something tasty and yet full of aroma to make! In

the meantime, these 3 am wake-ups are really starting to get to me -

I apologize in advance if I don't make sense sometimes...
