The whole house was filled with smoke and that sickening burned smell!

@lellabird60 Was Trying to be Nice And Helpful But it All Went Very Wrong!

As I walked in the door the first thing that I noticed was the smell. I could see that the stove was on and there was a pan with a lid over it sitting on the burner. The plastic handle of the lid looked like a roasted marshmallow just plooping and slooping where it should have been sitting solid!

My Next Move Was About to Make Matters Worse!

It was about 3 p.m. and I had already realized that @lellabird60 had left the stove on when she departed the house at 12 p.m. I decided to slide the lid off and see what was under it. Big Mistake!

As soon as I brushed the lid off of the pan a big plume of black intoxicating smoke filled the air, the house, and unfortunately my lungs! I started to gag and cough but I managed to grab the pan and put it outside on the patio.

In case you're wondering, it was supposed to be a re-heated casserole from the night before! Can you see the screw sitting in the pan? It came off of the lid handle!

How Are Things Now?

As soon as I had put the pan outside I opened all of the windows in an attempt to air the whole place out but things are still pretty bad!

How Do I Know I've Got Smoke Damage?

After taking a shower this morning the "fresh" towel that I used smells like the accident in the pan!
When I try and kiss my wife her hair smells like the accident in the pan!
When I walk in the door from being outside I almost gag from the accident in the pan!

I Need Your Help: What Can I Do to Get Rid of The Smell?

Do we need to wash all of the drapery, clothes, furniture etc..
Will it be enough to continue to air out the house?
Have any of you ever tried using an ozone machine?
Have you ever had a similar experience?

I hope that you enjoyed my article: "When Something Goes VERY Wrong in The Kitchen!" I know that I didn't!

Until next time,
