Bad Odors
Bathroom Smells.
To help get rid of 'bathroom' smells, instead of using air fresheners,
try striking a match, (regular not safety) sounds strange but very
effective. r j russell. -- Richard Russell.
Doggy Smells.
To get rid of the smell on your dog, instead of using expensive dog
shampoos, use a tomato (i personally use tomato puree in the same way
as you would use regular dog shampoo) this will rid your dog of its
smell for about six months and your dog will love you for it.
A dogs smell is the reason why
some dogs will roll in about anything that smells different to itself,
so by getting rid of its natural smell it won't have the urge to roll
in anything. Relax, your dog won't smell of tomatoes, it won't smell of
anything, can also be used on your self if you have a strong body odour.
p.s. A VERY IMPORTANT p.s. if your
dog has light hair, i wouldn't recommend using puree, as you will end
up with a pink dog, unless you want to spend a couple of hours rinsing
him out, fortunately the dog smell will still be gone.

STINKY HANDS. I was reading about those smelly hands and all
you have to do to get the onion smell off after you get through cutting
is use a drop or two of dishwashing liquid and a little salt and rub
for just a bit and rinse. Also if you are cutting an onion and bell
pepper, cut the onion first then the bell pepper and rub your hands
just a little with the pepper and no need to do anything the pepper
does the trick. For shrimp smell use a little lemon juice and a little
salt and rub and rinse. ~~ D Kelly

Removing odors from hands. To get rid of onion or garlic
smells from hands, wet your hands in running water and then rub your
fingers and palms briskly on the silver metal of your sink faucet. If
you have a stainless steel sink to rub your hands on, that is even
better. Wash hands normally afterwards with hand soap and water. --

To
remove bad odors from your hands, such as onion or garlic,
rub your hands in used coffee grounds. I learned this from a perfume
store that had a bowl of coffee grounds to rub into your hands after
trying the different scents. It works for almost any odor. Then, of
course, to remove the coffee smell, you'll need to use soap and water! --

For
removing onion, fish, or whatever smells from your hands. No
need to buy any fancy gadgets or metal stones. Turn on the faucet, wet
your hands and run them back and forth along the water spout (using
wringing motion). After a couple of passes, you will find that your
hands now smell fresh and clean. -- Patti Duke

Getting pee out of kids clothes My son has a problem about
wetting the bed i have found that if you take your regular
washing stuff and add a can of cheap cola to your laundry it
takes the pee smell out. It also works great on getting
greasy stuff out of clothes just let the clothes soak for about 30
mins. for both and when you dry them they will not come out smelling
like pee. ~Sabrina~ Michael Matthews

Clothes
Burned in House Fire: To get smoke smell out
(or skunk smell,) I have found that the only thing that works
is taking clothes, etc to a dry cleaner that has an "ozone
room." They do not dry clean the clothes -- they put them in
a room with these hydrocarbons (or fluorocarbons, not sure
which it is) and it removes the smell. This is the only thing
that worked for me when a skunk got in the basement of a
rental home & sprayed. -- LMN
