How do you get rid of a strong curry Odor in an apartment home! Please someone help!

How do you get rid of a strong curry Oder in a apartment home! We tried everything! Please someone help! I need to fix this!

Rent to a heavy smoker...

Vanilla in the paint

We tried to add stuff to the paint it didn’t work! Here the catcher I leased it today and they are moving in tommrow for 4 months

Ozone machine

Put the ozone machine 3 times

Charcoal

Burn it down! Seriously, full paint with oil based kilz, ceilings, floor concrete, clean air ducts and new dryer hoses.

Ozium

Baking soda over all the floors and let sit

Ozone or hydroxyl.
Recommend cleaning air ducts plus all exhaust fan vent covers

Cut up grapefruit and boil citrus fruits in water

Change carpet, vinyl, paint walls, and ozone machine and even all that might not work.

Lemon oil on cabinet

Coffees Beans need to be placed where the air handler is, also clean out the air ducts. Will have to replace the carpet and seal the floor

Clean everything with water and vinegar, including quarter round and baseboards and boil potpourri mix with all windows open.
If all else fails set it up mini model with bohemian or Indian style with fresh baked naan and a mini wow fridge so it all appears intentional.

Vinegar wash walls counters cabinets woodwork. Duct clean, ozone. Gonna spend a couple grand. You can charge for that damage, just document the failed attempts.

Paint scents and scent bombs

Ozone machine, kilz, possibly carpet replacement.

I used to sprinkle the carpet with carpet fresh, the pet kind and don’t vacuum it up, brush it in with a broom, douse the ac filter with Febreze, and put a cotton scented air freshener inside before the coils. Worked every time, just make sure it’s all cotton, linen or lavender scented so it doesn’t overwhelm tours.

Having a company clean the ductwork helps... and ozone machine

We use biozine and paint scents because we have a heavy foreign population and all the smells that go with it. Try walking in a unit to do inspections and have a goat head staring at you in a pot

Curry from cooking sticks to every surface. Start with the stove and hood vent and clean with a product like AireMaster blue lagoon liquid deodorant. Fog the ceiling and inside the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Remove the over the stove vent filters and clean thoroughly or replace them. Fog inside the stove and microwave. Floor and walls. Fog the entire duct system with an aerosol odor fogger AireMaster makes one.
Don’t forget the blinds, window sills, sinks and under the cabinets.
It’s a job but it is doable and not thousands of dollars. If you are in Alabama or Tennessee we can do it for you, elsewhere I can refer you to someone local who could help.

The cooking appliances must be replaced, along with this other advice. Too costly to clean properly.

SCOE 10X We buy it on Amazon. This is the only thing we've found that works.

Oder ban

Cinnamon

Ozone machine, Kilz, paint, clean the coils in the furnace and have your A/C person spray a nice scent in the ducts and furnace. Clean and deodorize the carpet. It usually works for us.

Cover stain on the walls and then paint. As far as the carpet, your carpet cleaning company should have something they can use. I’m sure it’s not their first rodeo.

Use an Ozone machine for about 3-5 days in the unit.

I know this post is a few weeks old, but I find that this comes up a lot in our industry, so I thought I would pass along an option if available in your area. It is a service called BioSweep. The link to a video on how BioSweep works is listed below.

We use this when the curry oil has penetrated beyond an ozone treatment. While the treatment can run anywhere from $250 to $350, it can save you from having to Kilz the entire unit or replace carpets and other floor coverings. In most states, this is considered a 'damage' beyond normal wear and tear and can be charged back to the resident. If viable in your state, I do recommend having your management company look at writing the potential charge back cost into the lease so that it is understood at move-in by all residents. Something to the effect of:

The use of high potency cooking spices may create airborne soluble oils that permeate the interior room surfaces. These surfaces include, but are not limited to, walls, ceilings, cabinets (the inside, outside, tops and bottoms), microwaves, range hoods, appliances, flooring of all types, light fixtures, blinds, windows and sills.

Simple cleaning cannot be relied upon to remove this oily residue and odor. Therefore, a specialized air and surface treatment process, which may include the BioSweep treatment, may be utilized to rid the spaces of the odor from using said cooking spices and oils. The expense for mitigation of these odors and any other costs, services, or treatments to return the apartment to the condition in which it was accepted at move-in, with the exception of normal wear and tear, will be charged to the resident as damages pursuant to the Lease Agreement.

Hope this helps someone down the line! As always -- know your tenant law before you proceed with the above and consult with an attorney if you are not 100% sure for your situation when it comes to rebilling the resident!

Vapor Shark, leaves a Citrus smell, they're not very expensive to purchase either. Some carpet cleaners have a treatment they provide, it kills odor, sometimes a couple applications on a heavy smoked in unit most are good though on the 1st try. Best of luck!
