I had an electrical fire at my home this morning, how can I get that smell out of my house?

Answer 1

Besides the obvious airing out, you might try getting some of the spray that's used for tobacco smoke. Most brands simply mask smells, but there's a few that really do eliminate smoker smells. They ought to work for the lingering smells of other types of fire as well. You'll never know till you try.

Answer 2

I've worked in a lot of houses that had fires, the best way I noticed to get the smell out is to open windows and doors, and let it air out, it will take some time, and you might not get all the smell out, there might be a hint of it left.

Working in houses even after they have been sheetrocked, and painted and everything else, I could still smell a hint of it, but that could be from working in the house everyday for 8 hours.

Answer 3

Place a window fan in a window, pushing air outside.
Open one window at a time in each room, so fresh air is drawn into that room. Once clear, close the window then move on to open a window in another room.
Repeat the process one room at a time.
Unless you live in a manision, it should take less than an hour.
And don't forget to open your closet doors so your clothes get aired out also.
