During renovations in an apartment, it often becomes necessary to paint one or another surface.
This action is often accompanied by the appearance of an unpleasant odor.
The solution to this problem is quite simple. All you need to do is add one additional ingredient to the paint.
The extra "aroma" will be masked. At the same time, the contents of the jar will remain suitable for use.
What to add to the jar
Vanilla extract will help. If you add two teaspoons of this solution to the container, the paint will no longer be a source of unpleasant odor.
This effect is explained very simply: vanilla has such a bright and pleasant aroma that many other smells cease to be felt.
Moreover, the additional component does not affect the quality of the substance in any way: surfaces can be painted without any fear.
Things to remember
It is worth emphasizing that using vanilla extract will not rid the room being renovated of toxic fumes.
Despite the absence of an unpleasant odor, paint does not cease to be a source of hazardous compounds.
Therefore, a person should not stay in a room with recently painted surfaces for a long time.
In addition, one should not forget about the importance of such a procedure as ventilation of the room.
