I burnt mac and cheese. How do I get the smell out?

[red324]

So I forgot the minor detail of adding water to those macaroni bowls that you put in the microwave. So the whole house smells like burnt toast. Even my clothing right now smells burnt. I've heard coffee granuals and baking soda absorbs smells. I couldn't find the folgers last night for some reason lol opinions?

There are several things you can try to get rid of the burnt mac and cheese smell in your home and clothing:

1. Open windows and doors: Letting fresh air into your home can help to circulate and dissipate the smell.

2. Use vinegar: Vinegar is a natural deodorizer and can help to neutralize the burnt smell. You can boil a pot of water with a cup of vinegar in it on the stove, or you can place bowls of vinegar around your home to absorb the smell.

3. Use baking soda: Sprinkling baking soda on your carpets and furniture can help to absorb the smell. You can also leave an open box of baking soda in the room where the burnt smell is the strongest.

4. Use activated charcoal: Activated charcoal is another natural deodorizer that can help to absorb strong smells. You can place small bags of activated charcoal around your home to absorb the burnt smell.

5. Use citrus: The natural oils in citrus fruits can help to mask unpleasant smells. You can boil a pot of water with lemon or orange peels in it, or you can use citrus-scented candles or air fresheners.

It may take a combination of these methods to fully get rid of the burnt mac and cheese smell. Additionally, washing your clothing and any fabrics that have absorbed the smell in hot water with a cup of vinegar or baking soda can help to remove the smell from your clothing.

If it’s the whole house you need an ozone fumigator. Let it run in two hour intervals and re-check. And to state the obvious: Keep out of the house while there is ozone activity!
