[blparent] Getting Rid of a Powerful Smell

[Veronica Smith]

Jo Elizabet, as for the smell on your hands, try rubbing your hands with
olive oil and cinnamon.  I was told one time that this works and in the
process it makes your hands soft.  I'm not sure about the smell in your
house though, you might try sprinkling baking soda on the rug, let it sit
awhile and then vacuum it up.  They say that's how to get rid of unwated
cigarette smells. V

Hi.  My daughter got into the bottom drawer of my nightstand and found some
shower gel that I forgot I had.  I never liked it because it was really
strong, and the smell reminded me of incense.  She got a great big glob of
it and tried to rub it into her hands and arms like lotion.

Okay, so how do I get rid of the awful smell?  Any ideas?  It's taken over
my whole house, I'm not kidding!  I put my daughter in the tub, which didn't
help[ a whole lot because shower gel is meant to leave a lingering scent.
Unfortunately, the scent is lingering on my hands as well, and in the air
all over the house.  I opened up the windows--thank goodness it's a nice
evening.  But the smell is literally strong enough that I can taste it and
my eyes are watering.  Any tips would be appreciated.
