Will this eliminate curry smell coming from neighbors cooking spicy food?

It might take a little time but it should do it. I love this product and use it in all the rooms in our house.

Thank you all for the reply. I season the pan well before cooking not not use soap for washing the skillet. I think as Gayle Horvath said, may be the tamarind based curry(acidic) which was cooked created the smell. Now have washed well and re seasoned. No more metallic smell.

Ginger is right. It takes about a week for the smell to go away. Buy outdoors you may not notice it.

I have it in my cats room by their litter box. I don't think it will reduce cooking smells... I always just turn on the kitchen fan and or open a window depending on what I'm cooking. The filter doesn't seem strong enough to me to pull the cooking odor out the air.

I have not tried it on anything, I usually cook with it like stir fry veggies or pancakes, shrimp, the smell is intoxicating, so good

It does have a smell to it but it's not overpowering. As for the kitchen I suppose just as long as your not spraying all your pots and pans and utensils with it. Use a small handheld spray bottle in the house. And make sure the area is well ventilated and fluffy is secured in another room so he isn't licking it up. Once it drys you wi be fine. But remember I said this stuff doesn't kill on contact. It works by attacking the bug/insect nervous system and respatory system and killing it over time. It does work but you have to give it a day to three days to see its effects. And prolong of this and you will reap the benefits. It does have a smell to it but it's not overpowering.

I have never tried it for spices. I'M SURE IT WOULD WORK WELL, BUT MAY LEAVE A SMELL/AFTER TASTE WHEN COFFEE.

Yes, you will notice an " ozone" smell. It is not unpleasant and gets rid of cooking odors. I think it freshens the house

It is mildly spicy....the curry used is very flavorful. It is great over rice or by itself.

not really. After buffing, the smell should disapate in couple hours.I find the most odor stays in the house from the applicator and rags used. put them outside.

Not really. I use it in a restaurant and we have to scrub them down with a grill brush. I burn off all the fat on the stove first and get the basket red got then brush it clean. This kinda thing doesn't need to be spotless after all

Mai, I've found it to do well in my 600 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. Occasionally cooking smells will overwhelm the space and it's really annoying when it's from someone else's cooking. After about an hour or so of running it, the air is usually cleared and the space much more enjoyable. If I remember correctly there are 4 carbon filters included with the unit, which they suggest changing every 3 months. Replacement filters are available for separate purchase. The automatic setting is nice as it runs at the quietest speed and then speeds up if it senses the need for more filtration (really kind of freaky when the pet breaks wind and the unit responds several seconds later).

Eventually, but you have to leave them out if a cool breezy place. I left the out for over a month to dissipate the aroma.

Probably. I would put veggies on bottom so steam passing upward won't have picked up fishy smells. But the steamer cooks very quickly and to be sure you might want to do them seperately. But I think it would be okay with veggies on bottom. I've done chicken and veggies and didn't have odor problems.

Nope. Never leaves a bad smell in the house or the food. Works great and has my recommendation for large family/meals.

i am not sure, but i suggest putting a few drops in a small spray bottle and see if spraying will eliminate the odor
