if you have an electric fan, place it in the door blowing in to the room. Open your windows so the air comes out.
Or you can place th fan in the window blowing out.
ventilation.

use plain charcoal, it is a fantastic absorbent
We will consume 85 million barrels of oil today, what's going to be left for tomorrow?

charcoal is a complex matrix comprising millions of tiny holes that gives it an enormous internal surface area. Particles and molecules (odour molecules) are trapped inside the matrix - In japan they use a lot of prepared charcoal (not the stuff for bbq) in the washing machine and as a deodorant. It is used in commercial air filters to remove impurities and odour in the air.

Now you just need a bit of spring onion and soy sauce then you will have all the ingredients for a traditional Chinese New Year feast.

 , Shazza.
AG, erm, the onions and salt only work in a closed room. Only then will they absorb the nasty smells. Open windows are a no-no. Would advise the couch one more night or camp out.

okay, got all of those things, as well as the all important hot-water bottle, and Thermos flasks full of hearty lentil soup
hot water bottle? where will I put that? im not sick AKA...how about a nice slice of cake instead of lentil soup...don't wanna be flatulent in a small tent!
perhaps flatulence would distract from the smell of paint?
