A friend of mine once called out the Gas Board because she could smell gas. It turned out to be a rotting satsuma at the bottom of the fruit bowl! Is the smell still there this morning? Hope it didn't keep you awake all night!
I've been able to smell cigarette smoke in my lounge for the past couple of weeks (neither of us smoke) and it's driving me nuts, especially as the OH can't smell it but then again his sense of smell is rubbish. We've had rows about it because he thinks it's in my head and I'm about to have another stroke and I'm fuming that he won't believe it's in my nostrils and not my brain. I've moved all the furniture, hovered everywhere, crawled around on my hands and knees sniffing the floor, the walls, the dogs, the sofa etc. to no avail.
Katy are you sure it is vomit you can smell not anal glands or maybe lip fold dermatitis which can smell similar.
When I lived in Somerset there was a strange smell in one of the bedrooms some of the time, it was sort of 'fishy'. I eventually found it came from the night storage heater which had been incorrectly wired and was burning inside
cant smell it now, but im gutting the house just incase, carpet cleaners coming out, the lot as queeny is visiting this week and she would give a blood hound a run for its money, if there is a still a smell then, she will find it
with fag smoke this happend in our old house. every night right at top of stairs. when mum saw old owners she asked about it and she said it was her hubby that he used to sit at top of stairs watching the tv through the bannister till the kids fell asleep. it stopped when me and my brother were teenagers so he must have decided we didnt need watching over anymore. He came back when my little brother moved in to his own room and left again when he was a teenager. as much as my mum hates smoking and the smell makes her gag she never minded it once the lady told her about her hubby and admits to kinda missing it. i dont really believe in ghost and all that but im hard pushed to come up with a logical explanation for this nightly occurance
I've lived here 16 years and never smelt it before but next door have been hammering and hammer drilling the party wall on and off for weeks, gawd knows what they're doing cos they seem to do it for anything between 5-30 minutes and then stop. The walls here are very hard and blunt all the drill bits very quickly as we discovered when putting up blinds recently, drilling 6 holes wrecked 5 drill bits and took forever but I digress, thing is next door smokes like a chimney and I'm beginning to think it's coming through the wall and yes I do realise how mental that sounds
not mental atall. smoke will find its way through even the smallest of gaps/cracks/holes and if you have a good sense of smell you would pick it up
Well, I don't know where your whiff of vomit is coming from Kg, but I know exactly where mine is coming from and it has cost me a fortune to order two new base cushions for the big sofa. Grandsproglet was to blame.
oh no! i feel for you, me and my sister in law had this last year. 3 kids with noro virus 1 still a baby. safe to say we nearly burnt out my carpet cleaner
Yuk!! It's a smell that definitely lingers!!! That baby must have been a worry though - poor little thing
it was horrid, went on for about a week as the kids just kept passing back and forth, sister in law had it but by some miracle i didnt get it which landing me with the job of waiting on everybody hand and foot and cleaning up all their bodily fluids. i found adding dettol to my carpet cleaner helped alot as the smell is the bacteria so needed them dead (or so im told). house smelt like a hospital for weeks
I was told that about bacteria too, so dried the cushions really quickly against the radiator after tons of sponging, then sprayed liberally with Febreze. Didn't work!
