The smell of paint often causes headaches due to its intensity.
In this article, we will tell you how to effectively remove strong odors from a room.
How long does the smell of paint stay in the house
It is worth knowing that more expensive and high-quality paints have a less noticeable odor.
They usually disappear within 36-48 hours after surfaces are painted.
Sometimes the smell of paint can linger in the house for even several weeks.
In general, it is best to wait up to 3 days before using a painted area.
By this time the paints will dry and the smell will subside.
Good ventilation is the main condition for weathering, but there are other ways to speed up the process.
How to get rid of paint smell with baking soda
Baking soda especially quickly neutralizes strong odors, including paint odors.
To do this, sprinkle baking soda on the carpeting and any upholstered furniture in the room you are painting.
You can also spray baking soda on curtains and drapes.
Let the baking soda absorb the paint smell overnight and then vacuum the fabrics.
How to get rid of paint smell with vinegar
To get rid of the unpleasant smell of paint, painted surfaces should be washed with water and vinegar.
You should add a little vinegar to the water.
This solution eliminates the smell of paint and additionally relieves the painted surface from stickiness.
