I’m going to visit my grandfather this weekend. His house smells like a skunk rolled around in some rotten cabbages, died, and got eaten and pooped out by a water buffalo. Thankfully I dont have to sleep there, but I do have to visit for a few hours, a couple days in a row. Last time, I wore a mask with mint toothpaste rubbed inside, which didn’t help at all.
Google is failing me; the only results I can find are how to get rid of a smell, and that’s just not possible here without a great deal of fire. So can anyone recommend how to live with a uniquely terrible smell for a few days?
Yeah despite OP’s colourful description they didn’t really describe the smell. Does it smell like sewerage? Do as you suggested. Does it smell like something dead? Check for dead nice or rats? If it just smells like old man, open some windows or put on a load of laundry. Spoiled food - clean out the kitchen.
