Besides opening windows, how do I eliminate the smell from a freshly painted room?
Turning on a fan will make the area ventilate faster. But for best results, place a couple of bowls of white vinegar around the room and let them sit for 24 hours; the liquid is a natural deodorizer that absorbs unpleasant odors. To sidestep the problem in the future, stir one drop of lemon extract into each gallon of paint before you start painting. Not only does it mask the smell, but it also keeps white paint pristine.
