I have loads of decorating to do, but I hate the smell of paint, any ideas?

 Actually there is a clever little product I’ve come across from Australia of all places, called Paint Odour Eliminator. It is an additive that you add in to your paint. Just a few drops. The bottle has graduations to indicate the mix ratio for different kinds of paints, solvents etc.

I’m reliably informed that it works very well in gloss, varnish, cellulose, even two-pack floor paint which gives off quite a strong whiff. It is stocked by most of the better specialist paint outlets and sells for about €10-00.  Well worth a try I’d say.
