Super-super odor eliminator?

[GanChan]

I have an apartment neighbor whose cooking should be banned by the Geneva Convention as a form of chemical warfare. The peaceful solution is to find a strong deodorizer that can keep my own apartment free of his dinner fumes. I was giving the Gonzo volcanic rock bags a try, and i think they were working, but they also kicked up dust -- and I'm concerned about what zeolite dust might do my lungs. So that's gone, and i'm looking or something else. Any recommendations?

Ozone Generators are supposed to help with odors, but I don't know if they are healthy long term

You could always leave a back of stinky hockey equipment in the hallway, you probably wouldn't smell his cooking anymore.

This should do the job

Yeah... you don't run them while you're on premises and you need to heavily air out a building once it's been used.

Offer to teach the guy how to cook something else. Something you like.

Get a surgical mask and smear some icy hot on your upper lip.

drink enough whiskey and you wont even notice the smell from the neighbor's cooking

Ozium gets rid of the smell of just about anything, and a little goes a very long way.

I can’t stress this enough, Ozium is extremely effective but you DO NOT want to be anywhere near it after it’s used.

I walked into a friend’s bathroom to take a leak once and suddenly got a ringing in my ears and nearly passed out where I stood. I came out pale as a ghost at which point he mentioned he just sprayed the stuff and didn’t even turn on the fan.

Anything where its manufacturer claims is eliminating odors or "cleansing" the air for hours is probably not going to be super healthy. Overly reactive chemicals that react with odors and stuff like that will likely react with your body as well, with probably ungood results.

Any recommendations?

An air filtering unit with an activated charcoal filter. It's passive, won't cause cancer or anything like that, and is effective enough that it is used in anti-chemical weapon breathing masks and things of that sort.

If the smells really bother you THAT much, that is... Of course, the filter will need replacement now and then, so it'll be a constant drain on your economy. You have to decide if the result is worth it.

Man, that's awful. Ozium you really do need just a very quick spray. People hold the nozzle down and wave it around like it's Lysol, but you can't do that.

And I doubt whatever's in it is healthy in any way. But if you want to quickly erase the smell of bong rips household odors, it works like nothing else.

Lol why do you think we sprayed that particular bathroom down?

The best option would be an Air Purifier (NOT ozone, that’s usually used for cleaning places that have had excessive tobacco smoke, and definitely not while anybody is currently present) that specializes in odors instead of Allergens. To remove food odor activated carbon will probably be the best bet. The problem is most “odor” based machines that don’t focus on allergens as well are ridiculously small and focus on freshening up a room over 8 hours while your away, and won’t really help a sudden onslaught of dinner smell, so you’d have to pay for a machine that’s actually big enough to help.

Tl;dr: A purifier with a large amount of activated carbon with the ability to push lots of air on command would be best.
