How does vinegar help in absorbing paint odor?

Vinegar is a good odor absorber, especially for cigarette smoke, however, you will have the vinegar smell to contend with. Another suggestion would be to add 1 tablespoon of white vanilla to your latex paint ( this will not work with oil based paint). The vanilla will mask some of the odor and make the paint smell less strong. Another good odor absorber that doesn't have any smell are charcoal briquettes, just be sure you get the plain ones not the ones that have been treated (Match Lite) with starter fluid. Just place them around the house (works especially well in the basement) in bowls and let them do the work. Handylady
