When you paint a few walls in the house, the smells remain everywhere.

These smells are toxic and it is important not to breathe them for too long.

Here are 10 tips to quickly eliminate paint odors in the house.

1. Open windows

Airing is of course the first reflex to have. If you can, ventilate even as soon as you paint (if it's not too cold, of course).

Odors fly away much faster and, in addition, your paint dries faster.

2. Fans

If you don't have a window, or not enough, don't hesitate to turn on one or two fans.

They also allow faster drying and evacuation of paint odors.

3. Baking soda

All over the freshly painted room, place small cups or ramekins of baking soda.

Baking soda is known to absorb odors, such as in the kitchen for example.

4. Salt

If you have no more baking soda on hand, do the same operation, but with salt.

It also absorbs odors naturally.

5. Hot milk

Milk also absorbs odors. For example, you may already know this trick for refrigerators.

Well, if you place bowls of lukewarm milk all over the newly painted room, it absorbs odors quickly.

Onion, too, is an effective odor absorber. Just peel it, cut it in 4 and place each piece in a corner of the room.

8. The breadcrumbs

Water and onions effectively neutralize odors.
