I tried everything to rid the house of the odor that was left after frying a wonderful fish dinner. The only thing that worked was "Yankee" candle. I used lemon/lavender and had it on about two hours. No spray even came close to ridding the house of day old fish smell.

Boil vinegar and water on stove for a few minutes. Works for old cigarette smoke odor also.
I have tried the vinegar on the stove thing but nothing works as well as the "pure air" candle I just bought from my local Oreck store. They said it would even take the bacon smell out and it did. I also tried it with fried redfish and it works. I think burning candles works the best.

When use of extractor fan or prolonged wide-opening of windows is not an option, just how does one effectively get rid of cooking smells after a big fry-up, particularly of fish? YT in London
