HELP! We have houseguests. They just fried pork chops in my kitchen, and now the whole house smells like we fried the entire pig. I have other company coming later this evening and I don't want to gag when they walk in the door. What is the quickest, surest way to get rid of this odor?

Febreeze! It works wonders - spray everything - the drapes, the carpets, the furniture (if upholstered), etc. I said I would never have a dog in the house because I could always smell my mother's dog every time I walked into her home. Now, I have a Scottish Terrier - IN THE HOUSE! I use Febreeze daily!

If all else fails....move the party outdoors. Spray everyone down with bug spray to cover up any pig smell.

Great point! I forgot to say that I use the "original" - not the scented versions!

When my husband smokes up the house with his cooking everything on high habit, I open windows, turn the central unit on and spray something fresh smelling into the intake. A few minutes of circulating air is all it takes.

cover a cookie sheet in aluminium foil, then put some cinnamon on it. Put it in the oven at a low temp, and the whole place will smell good.
My parents used that trick when we were selling the house!

Other than what has already been mentioned, the only solution I can think of to the fried pork smell is to fry some fish.
I'm loving these suggestions, but this one in particular (and the one about the Rain Garden Fried Pig) made me ROFL.

Place a couple of bowls of white distilled vinegar in the rooms affected. This will do it....also wipe down the stove area with fresh lemon juice!

2 things, 1) Fabreeze and birds DO NOT match. My wife lost several Finches and it wasn't even sprayed in the same room. 2) If they good friends, when they come in blame Michael for getting "pork chop" scented air freshener or if they are really good friends, tell them it is a beautiful night, you're eating out or at least outside.
