If the vinegar does not work, try a mixture of baking soda and water. And you will have fun with the fizzing foam that results! :D |

| 351364 | 2006-03-10 18:26:00 | Greetings everyone, Nice to meet all of you. Recently I moved into a new apartment. ;) I have lovely neighbors, but, unfortunately, they constantly cook with curry. I'm concerned that not only is the whole apartment continually filled with the smell of curry, but also, once I move my things in, how will I keep them from absorbing this odor? Any suggestions for dealing with curry on a very regular basis? Please help! Thanking all of you in advance. |

| 351366 | 2006-03-10 21:29:00 | Get to like curry. It's fantastic! Whenever I open my spice cupboard, the aroma of the spices wafts out and just inspires me to cook! mmmmmm :) | Greg (193) | ||

Haha funny you should mention that. We discussed this in one of my law papers as a case of very, very similar nature was raised. It was a while back when we did it (I don't remember the name of the case) but it classes as nuisance, and you can (if you are really angry) sue accordingly. Its known as private nuisance and you could possibly have a case. |

| 351370 | 2006-03-10 23:54:00 | The suggestion I've heard about this is think of the smell as oil . Oil droplets impregnated with the fragrance of curry (mmmmmmmmmm) have got into the woodwork or onto sealed surfaces . If you treat the sealed surfaces like a greasy roasting pan dish which needs a hot soapy scrub and several (pref hot) rinses to get clean then you're on the way to removing it . But from exposed woodwork, doubtful, as the oil has soaked into the wood and you will have to replace the wood . Not likely . I think above someone suggested getting to like the smell, think that's the most practical suggestion . |

At the same time, place a couple of air-freshener in your house to cover the curry smell; switch on the fan if necessary . In a worst-to-worst scenario, you can wear mask :D ;) Cheers :) |

Better to use the more familiar "worst case scenario". line 4: missing indefinite article cheers JK HTH m |
