Whether you are trying to remove smoke smells from your home from cigarette smoking, burned food, or perhaps from a fire, there is an easy "green" way to do it that will leave your home smelling fresh without using cover-up deodorants.
Removing the smell from a room: Fill a small bowl more than half full of vinegar (white vinegar or cider vinegar will do the trick.)
Step2
Put the bowl in the area where the smell is strongest, but out of the way of getting kicked or knocked over.
Step3
In less than 24 hours, the smell should be gone. The vinegar will not "cover" the smell the way that deodorants do. Instead, the smells will be absorbed and will be gone.
