Paint odor
i have just painted one bathroom with 'interior latex semi-glosss enamel' approx 1 week ago & still notice a paint smell . I am now about to paint my second bathroom and would like to know if there is a way to eliminate or reduce the paint smell.
Would a couple of drops of 'perfume' in the paint, work, help or is that a no-no?
Thx. in advance

Vanilla does work, and in Sherwin Williams, they sell little tubs of stuff you open up and it dissipates the odor quickly (or so it says!).

Psaint odor
Thx for the input Molly...tried the chopped onion suggestion! It did get rid of most of the paint smell, however it did leave a noticeable union smell ( tested in first bathroom) !! ..can't win! Which is worse?...the cure or the remedy? hahaha.
So next on the list is vanilla extract(bathroom #2)....I am kinda partial to that kinda smell anyway & what can go wrong, huh?
