  • If you have portable fans, use them. Light a few candles, simmer some homemade potpourri. If all else fails, carmelize some onions and garlic and make burgers or patty melts for dinner. The smell of onions can easily permeate the house.


    Activated charcoal works well too.


    If you can open all the windows in that room and close the door to the rest of the house.


    What is the temperature outside right now?

    Place bowls of white vinegar around the room. That has always worked for painting a room so maybe it will also work for poly on floors.

    Hello. You can use a air purifier with a charcol filter. I use them every day to help keep dust and allergies down.
