How to remove smell of paint

[mnw0610 0]

I have shifted into my flat for more than 1 year now.

But the smell of paint is still very strong.

Anyone knows of method to remove the smell?  I have tried putting baking soda in a bowl to absorb the smell but it doesn't work.

Charcoal not bad, can help alot with smell

What 'not bad', it is excellent !. Need replace about a week. Don't say i never mention:  need put at various spots.....make sure air circulates.

Guess TS closed windows and 'enjoy' aircon circulation days & nights....otherwise, after 1 year....still got smell ? Selling paint?

I had similar issue with smell, i tried using mint leaves, seemed to have helped, smell went away after 2-3 days

Yes, even I have used charcoal, and the smell goes away. But, even after a year how come the paint smell still persists ?

Have you considered using air purifier or air humidifier?
