The timing couldn't have been worse. Hours before I planned to bake a cake, my partner used the oven to broil some mackerel, and the lingering smell? Not exactly complementary to chocolate. Here's how we cleared the odor, plus a few more solutions for fish and other oven smells.
First wipe up any drips or splatters with a water- or vinegar-moistened towel. Then try one of these odor-eating strategies:
• Fill a baking dish with an inch of water and a teaspoon of vanilla extract and place it in the oven on low heat for about an hour. Check periodically to make sure the water hasn't evaporated.
• Try the above with lemon juice instead of vanilla, or just white vinegar.
• Bake lemon or orange peels in the oven.
• Scrub the oven with a natural, non-toxic solution like baking soda and vinegar.
• Plus a word of advice: skip your oven's self-cleaning function.
Have you tried any of these methods – or another – to get rid of fish and other oven odors?

What makes the smell of something, like, say, cat urine? While what's making the smell may be invisible to the naked eye, it doesn't mean there's nothing there. The smell is made of invisible gases that have vaporized from the source, smoke, pets, cooking and trash. These vaporized odors float in the air attaching to the suspended cation particles which act like a sponge absorbing and carrying the odors and toxins through the air we breath our hair and clothes. You can’t see them, but you can smell them. For a permanent fix use air-renu, apply it one time works night and day.
I personally think this is worth a try to get rid of smells/bad odours - there is a smaller unit for domestic use; it simply plugs in - great for bedrooms! I will try to put the link here Air purifiers
