Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Apr 15, 2012 7:14 pm Just wondering if anyone else has come across this. We have redecorated our bedroom and there is a fowl gassy smell in there. I did find a forum from the UK where it was quite a common problem over there and there was one person from Sydney on there that had the problem. It seems to be the paint but noone has come up with why or how to fix it. I have tried febreeze, cut lemons, bicarb soda, spraying vinegar and water on the walls, glen 20 but the smell keeps coming back. Seems to be worse when it is warm. Anyone heard of this? Re: Paint that has a 'gassy' smell 3Apr 24, 2012 9:48 am I come across off paint fairly often when I go and do maintanance. But in these cases you will smell it as soon as you take the lid off the tin, if it's only a small touch up i'll still use it. It smells for a while but then goes away. I haven't come across any instance where the paint started smelling after it went on. Just a thought, did you add an Ensuite and the smell is coming from the trap in the floor? Some liquid soaps can build up in the pipes, it catches hair and whatever else goes down your shower and can give off a pretty bad smell. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15284 4 14311 Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life. They are trying to charge us interest on late… 7 14282 |
