Every housewife faced the problem of eliminating the smell of burning. Several things at the same time, fuss, distraction and fatigue after a hard day lead to such troubles as a burnt saucepan on the stove. The smell of burning is not only unpleasant and sickening, but also dangerous. The content of soot, soot, carcinogens and smoke has a detrimental effect on health. In addition, severe carcinogens, together with soot, can cause cancer.

The ways

One of the properties of the burning smell is its causticity. Things, pieces of furniture - everything is saturated with soot and smell. People who survived the fire will confirm that it is very difficult to remove the smell of burning. The only way is to replace furniture, utensils, wallpaper, up to replacing floors. But burnt dishes are not such a global problem. Any housewife has dealt with "escaped" milk or burnt porridge.

Most likely, your favorite pot will have to be thrown away, and it will take a very long time to get rid of the smell, but not everything is so scary.

There are several ways to help get rid of the smell of burning in the apartment after a burnt out pot.

  • Airing. Immediately after the pan has been removed from the stove, all windows and doors in the apartment should be opened. It is necessary to remove the smell from the apartment as thoroughly as possible. The stove itself should be washed with baking soda and salt, which will also greatly help remove an unpleasant odor from the surface.
  • Wet cleaning. This is one of the most effective ways to help remove fumes from the room. You need to hang wet towels in the apartment. The concentration of smoke and soot varies, so it is worth rinsing and re-hanging the towels from time to time.All surfaces, cabinets, shelves in cabinets should be wiped with a damp sponge.
  • Cleansing a burnt item. If the burnt pan is slightly damaged and can be reanimated, immediately after the incident, the dishes should be removed to the street or balcony. For a while, you need to leave it in the air. To clean the pan from the remnants of burning and burnt food, you need to take 100 g of baking soda, pour 1 liter of hot water or heat baking soda and water directly in a burnt pan. After that, all residues of burning are easily washed off.

But the metal sponge, which housewives love to use for cleaning dishes, will do nothing and will only scratch the metal surface.

  • Room aromatization. Coffee, cinnamon, citrus fruits, aromatic oils, coniferous broth - all this will also help remove the smell of burning from the room. When roasted, coffee beans give off a rich, rich aroma that helps to obstruct the smoke smell. Tear the peels of lemons, oranges or tangerines into small pieces and spread on all surfaces.

To make this method more effective, it is worth setting fire to a piece of peel and leaving it to smolder in an ashtray.

For coniferous broth, it is better to use cones, needles or branches. Spruce and pine trees are more suitable for this method. The needles are poured with water and boiled for up to 20 minutes. Aromatic oils are also used to get rid of burning. Lavender, bergamot, orange, cedar and mint scent can quickly remove the soot odor. Ground cinnamon should be mixed with a little granulated sugar and butter. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet, previously covered with foil, and heat in an oven preheated to +100 degrees. It will take up to 2 hours for the burning aroma to evaporate.

Folk proven remedies

Many experienced housewives use long-proven folk remedies to remove the burning smell: vinegar, activated carbon, salt and various herbs. Table salt and activated carbon act as adsorbents, absorbing harmful substances and odors. In the room, you need to arrange plates with salt or charcoal. Throw away the salt or tablets after the odor has subsided. They cannot be reused. And also to eliminate the smell of burning, use a saline solution. Pour 10 liters of water into a large container, dilute 1 kg of salt in it and leave it indoors for several days.

Vinegar can be used in several ways. The first option is similar to the salt method. Vinegar is poured into a wide dish or container and placed in the room. In this case, it takes less time to eliminate the odor. Be careful when using the second method. In 1.5 liters of water, add up to 500 ml of vinegar and put all this on low heat. Vapors from the vinegar will help remove unpleasant odors.

But if you are allergic to acids or fumes, you should abandon this method. The latter method is scary, but effective and proven.

Herbs have many properties. Dill, mint, meadow herbs and flowers, wormwood will help you forget about a recent incident. You can hang bunches of herbs on eaves, windows, spread out on shelves. The properties of pharmacy fees are exactly the same. They are conveniently packaged in small sachets. They can be arranged in drawers and cabinets. With a decoction of chamomile, you can boil a burnt pan.

Ammonia and starch

Interactions with these substances should be attributed to short-term and extreme ways to eliminate unpleasant odor. After the action of ammonia and starch, high-quality ventilation is necessary until the smell disappears completely. Ammonia quickly neutralizes carbon monoxide fumes, and starch absorbs decomposition products.

Pour a little starch in a saucer, add a couple of drops of ammonia. Several of these saucers must be placed around the room in places inaccessible to children. After one day, remove the dishes and wash them well.

Additional ways

Removing burnt dishes, airing and aromatizing the room is not the most important thing. You should also carry out a general cleaning, wash the floors, all corners, wipe all surfaces, wash all things that are saturated with the smell of burning. General cleaning is the final step in the fight against odor elimination.

Now on the market of household chemicals there are many products for cleaning and washing the premises. They can be divided into the following types:

  • washing powders;
  • cleaning products;
  • care products;
  • disinfectants and refreshing agents.

Curtains, fabric chairs and tablecloths are all impregnated with an unpleasant smell. Washing powders remove, refresh and flavor during washing. Cleaning products will help remove plaque from surfaces. With their abrasive and reactive properties, cleaning powders remove carbon deposits, sludge, burnt fat and food debris. Gel and cream cleaners will help preserve the metal surface of your cookware. If the carbon build-up is strong, dissolve a few drops of the cleaning gel or cream in water and boil in the damaged container.

The choice of refreshing and disinfecting agents is also varied. Ozone nebulizers, air fresheners and fragrances help remove unpleasant odors. But don't forget about allergic reactions. For example, ozone nebulizers should not be turned on for more than 30 minutes. Ozone is a type of poisonous gas. But its effect on carbon monoxide and fumes is lethal. The choice of a freshener should also be approached with responsibility. There are special products that remove particles of an unpleasant smell from the air.

Important! Before using these tips, you must first clean and wash all surfaces, wet mop and thoroughly ventilate the area. Otherwise, removing the odor and applying various means immediately after an unpleasant incident will only aggravate the situation, and it will be much more difficult to remove odors.

These recommendations will help any housewife in the shortest possible time to rid the room of the unpleasant smell of a burnt pan. Removal of burnt deposits, soot and "scent" will pass without side effects, and the unpleasant incident will remain in the past. To prevent such cases from happening again, fire safety techniques must be followed.
