Sounds a bit weird, but try it, costs next to nothing.......My hubby cooks fish in abudance, fry's 50 at a time, when I get home from work my house stinks of fish........when he does his "escovich", I know that is probably spelt wrong, it gets rid of the smell throughout the house, all he does is in a pan, get the pan hot and add some vinegar..............thats it, let it boil up for a minute or so.......hey presto.....no fishy smells.

Open windows on either side of your house...and open all the doors inbetween...this will get a nice fresh draft coming through the house. You shouldn't need to use febreeze or oust unless it has really engrained into your furniture/upholstery. About an hour of that and you should be back to normal.
Also, if you cook something that smells nice for lunch that will counter it a bit.

For Kimmy's tea last night
The house now stinks
And Kimmy thinks
Yahoo Answers will put it right...
Open all the windows and leave a couple of bowls of bicarb or vinegar out. And apologies for the poetry outburst there!

Boiling a lemon helps, as does opening windows. Do the hoovering and polishing this evening and make a pot of curry for dinner. It will put a nice smell of curry in the house.

Warm a little vinegar on the stove when you cook fish or other strong smelling food. It will help get rid of the odor.

Cut up a few lemons and leave them around the room, they will absorb the smell and deoderise

Have you tried Febreeze Air? The meadow scent is awesome!

Mix up bicabonate of soda with water and squirt it in the air.
