Oh, the smell of fish is something! Everyone in our family loves fried fish, but we rarely fry it because of the smell. A very nasty and difficult to remove aroma is in the apartment after frying, it seems that all the furniture is saturated with it. And even a powerful hood does not help. It remains only to ventilate the entire apartment for a long time and tediously, creating a draft. Then the smell goes away. But it is reluctant to freeze in winter, so fried fish does not often appear on our table.

Great tips! After cutting the fish, I also usually wash my hands with soap and then rinse apple cider vinegar. They also wash my knife and cutting board. In addition to the smell of fish, vinegar also eliminates the smell of onions and garlic. It helps a lot! And with the help of parsley, I get rid of any unpleasant odors from my mouth. I just chew leaves with stalks or a spine that I can find at home. And lemon slices in this case are also helpers, right with the crust. But I didn’t know how to remove the smell of fish from clothes. I usually just wash washing powder. I will definitely take your advice on laundry into service. Well, aroma oils are my favorite way to aromatize an apartment.

A very familiar problem! My husband is a passionate fisherman, and I like to sit with a fishing rod, so the fish spirit is a frequent guest in our house! It's hard to get rid of the smell when literally everything smelled: clothes, dishes, kitchen, hands, what can I say - EVERYTHING! For a long time we were looking for a way out, which means we didn’t try, starting from bleach (the smell of which is also not easy to get rid of) and ending with expensive household chemicals, we finally found it. This is not a panacea, but of all that we have tried, the best. I wash clothes, dishes and kitchen surfaces in a solution of vinegar, about 0.5 liters per bucket of water. After, if required, I use ordinary household chemicals. The smell just disappears! For hands I use lemon juice, although after washing with vinegar, there is no smell of fish. And if you need to remove the smell from the mouth - there is probably no better remedy than parsley! Chewing gum won't help! To paraphrase the proverb: you can’t even wash the smell of fish out of the house without difficulty!
Hello Gregory.
Many people love fish in one form or another. But this is a perishable product, especially in the warm season. Quite often, amateur anglers are faced with the problem of smell in the car when transporting the catch. Yes, and at home, when butchering fish, you can not keep track of the fact that a piece has fallen somewhere or blood or mucus has flowed. And then an unpleasant smell can literally poison life. The smell of fish is very specific, it is difficult to get rid of it. We'll have to do it comprehensively, then success can be guaranteed.
We fight with an unpleasant "aroma" in the car
Let's start with the "ambulance" car interior. Find the source of the smell and eliminate the cause. If these are rugs, then they need to either be washed or cleaned and dried well. If the smell comes from the seats, then they need to be treated with soda or vinegar. Sprinkle soda on the skin for a day, and then carefully clean it with a vacuum cleaner. Treat all plastic surfaces, leatherette coatings, glass with a solution of vinegar. You can leave a container of vinegar in the car for a day. Dry the interior, preferably in the sun, by opening the doors and windows. After that, sprinkle the coffee beans in the cabin, and you do not need a chemical freshener or flavor.
If these methods don't work, try leaving an odor neutralizer in the cabin. It is made on the basis of silica gel. It absorbs moisture and neutralizes unpleasant odors. And they will absolutely remove any smell in dry cleaning or when cleaning with "dry fog".
Eliminate odor in the house
If an unpleasant smell haunts you in the kitchen, you need to determine the place where it comes from in the same way and eliminate the cause. Then, with good ventilation, rinse the source with a solution of vinegar, taking one part of water for one part of vinegar. Vinegar is much better at removing odor than cleaning gels from the store. Likewise, leave the vinegar container in the kitchen and go about your business outside for at least a few hours.
If your kitchen has rugs or runners, hang them outside to ventilate, as long as they haven't been a source of odor. In the event of a leak on the mats, they will need to be wet cleaned using a powder or gel. It is possible that the rug can be hopelessly damaged if the smell is strongly absorbed.
Wipe the furniture upholstery with a solution of chlorhexidine, which will disinfect it at the same time. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners such as "Whiteness", they do not remove the smell, but are very harmful to breath. Wash curtains and tulle, you may need to do this more than once. When washing, add conditioner to the machine.
After eliminating the source of the disgusting smell, burn the salt in a pan and leave it in the kitchen overnight. Salt absorbs odors well, but after that it will have to be thrown away. At the same time, you can leave a bag of charcoal in the corner, it will also absorb unnecessary aromas. Roast a few coffee beans. The coffee aroma will give your kitchen a cozy feeling and create a good mood.
In the future, try to carefully pack the fish during transportation, put it in plastic buckets with a tight lid. In the kitchen, pre-determine a place to clean the fish, make sure that the carcasses do not drip onto the floor or floor coverings. Then you will not have to face the problem of cleaning the interior and removing unpleasant odors in the room.
Sincerely, Weronikka.
A fish dinner has long been eaten, and the unpleasant smell of fish still remains on your hands? The odor is especially intense if it was you who was cooking. Hands can smell like fish even after fishing. In any case, after the fish, the hands have an unpleasant specific smell that reminds of its source. After the fish, everything smells - hands, dishes, and even freezer where the product was stored. But do not despair and because of this, give up your favorite delicacy. It is quite possible to get rid of the smell of fish.
How to get rid of the smell of fresh fish on your hands

- Alcohol. Any alcohol-containing compositions perfectly fight odors, especially fish. Apply to a cotton pad medical alcohol, vodka or cologne. Wipe your hands thoroughly with cotton. If alcohol is not available, liquid antiseptic hand soap can be a great alternative.

How to get rid of fishy smell while cooking
Before cooking fish, wet your hands with cold salty water, lemon juice or vinegar. To prevent the fish from exuding a strong smell when frying, you can fry a few pieces of potatoes or onion. If the smell comes from the broth, add some milk to it. Milk perfectly eliminates the smell without overwhelming the taste of the fish itself.
If the pot stinks after cooking the fish, you need to fill it with water, add a little lemon juice or vinegar and boil it. If the smell is in the room, you need to sprinkle coarse salt on the gas stove and put a piece of orange peel near the burner. The persistent smell of fish in the kitchen can be eliminated by roasting a few coffee beans in a pan. It not only suppresses the fishy smell, but also gives the room a light coffee aroma.
If the unpleasant smell of fish remains on plates and spoons, it can be removed with tea. Brew strong tea and let it cool. Then rinse the dishes with tea and rinse with detergent. Dry mustard perfectly copes with the smell on the dishes. It is enough to rub the plates with it.
But to remove the fishy smell from clothes, pre-soaking it in cold salty water will help. Wash your clothes with laundry soap, because it contains a lot of alkali that can cope with unpleasant odors.
