To improve the appearance of the room, you can cover the walls with paint.

This design approach is very effective: the room is transformed.

But there is one unpleasant consequence - the appearance of excess odor.

Of course, you can air out the room right away. But there is a high risk that the paint will dry too quickly in this case.

As a result, quite a lot of cracks will appear on the wall.

Fortunately, there is another way to rid the room of unpleasant odor. Onions will help you achieve the desired result.

Onion against paint smell

You need to take one onion and cut it into four pieces.

All vegetable parts should be thrown into a bowl and filled with plain water.

The container should be left on the table or on the floor in the room where the walls were recently painted.

Then you have to leave the room and close the door. And it's not just the stench, but also the possible toxicity of the paint.

The filled bowl should stand in the room for 6-8 hours. You cannot enter the room during this time.

When the right moment comes, you need to remove the dishes with the vegetable and open the window. As a result, both the smell of paint and the onion aroma will begin to disappear.

Earlier we told you what to add to the water for washing windows to remove dirt faster.
