My problem is that my room has just been painted and I hate the smell of paint a lot. It makes me dizzy. What can I do to eliminate the paint odor at the soonest possible time? I miss my bed very much.

A:

Paint fumes can really be toxic! Place a bowl full of ammonia (actually toxic, too, so don’t inhale!) or vinegar in a corner of your newly painted room and leave it overnight. This should absorb the dizzying fumes. Hang a healthy herb sachet on the doorknobs and cabinet handles.
