How do I get rid of this smell??
 

I moved into a new house. The former tenants of the house I was told was East Indian. There is this wretched odor which lingers in the house which smells like rotten spices. I used fabreeze, i opened the windows, I tried LITERRALLY EVERYTHING!! Nothing does the trick. How do I get rid of this smell?

Keep the windows open for at least a month.

Change the carpets too. The spice has already gotten into the fibre and there's no way u can remove it. The smell may also gotten into the walls so there's no way u can just "wipe it down".

Ouch...

yeah your only hope is to paint the walls and replace the carpets...

Start smoking.

Try putting some tea tree oil in a spray thing of water. Apparently it gets rid of any smell. Learned that from a friend's friend a couple days ago.

Sounds like karma for your name :D

Oh man bought a house from east indians..

I suggest changing carpet+painting walls

the house has been marinating for who knows how long

Definately remove carpet if there's any

it's just your upper lip, son...








joking

why get rid of the smell when you can try and enjoy it ?

have curry for at least a month

Changing the carpet is a must. It won't go away.

pretty sure this guy is renting so i doubt he can remove the carpet without throwing down some dough. just cumin you'll get use to it within a week- i mean it'll be gone in a week...

it's the landlords responsibility, If the smell is that bad he can request that the landlord change the carpets, if he says "no" then he can make a report to the fair housing commission and they can make the landlord do it

Go to your friendly neighborhood real estate office and borrow their Ozone generator, leave it on while you are out, it should be cleared in a day or so.

are you serious? what if the landlord's own house smells just like it won't he be offended?

sounds like carpet to me as well, if you cant replace maybe cleaning them will help

Gasoline+a match

this

have you tried carpet cleaning? like hiring the pros?

Agree on the carpets....who knows, you might find piss stains. Thats what a friend did when he bought his house.

you have replace all the carpets and underlay, repaint all the walls and ceilings.
Your typical renovations when you buy a house.

call around for an OZONE GENERATOR...this machine will get rid of smells in any room (even dead animal smells)

i know unique detailing and richmond autospa have it. they'll leave the machine running for a few hours. but I think they have to do 1 room at a time...not the entire house.

get the carpets cleaned
