Last summer, our wife plus several sons went on a fishing excursion.
They spent the day out on the lake plus came back with a cooler full of fish.
The two of us cooked a portion of their catch on the barbecue that night. The rest, both of us arenad in the freezer to save for a later date. Over the winter, I thought it would be a nice treat to thaw out the rest of the fish plus bake it, then unfortunately, our whole home filled with the smell of fish. While the meal was tasty, the odor became a problem. It was everywhere. The kitchen, every entryway plus washroom plus even our closets reeked of fish. With outdoor un-even temperatures in the low teens, there was no possibility of opening a window. I tried spraying room desmellizer, lighting scented candles plus opening boxes of baking soda, however nothing got rid of the smell. I realized that the odor had gotten into the HVAC duct plus was being perpetuated by the oil furnace. I did some research plus figured out that there was most likely a buildup of dust plus other contaminants concealed inside the ducts. This debris had absorbed the smell. I then stressed an appointment for duct cleaning. The business brought in a machine that resembled an industrial-sized vacuum cleaner. It was outfitted with an harshly long hose plus a brush affixment. The brush was inserted into the ducts to discottage pollutants plus suck them up. The process took a couple of hours plus caused mess or disfigure. The result was incredible. Not only was the odor of fish completely eliminated however both of us noticed a significant improvement in the comfort of the home. The oil furnace no longer has to run as long or use as much energy. My heating bills are lower plus I don’t need to dust or vacuum as often. The temperature from a single room to another is more consistent.
