How to get rid of weed smell from a room?
I smoke marijuana to help with sleep but my parents are coming to visit next week. They’d probably be cool with it, but I just don’t feel like answering their questions or dealing with it, ya know? I thought I did a good job getting rid of the smell by opening the windows for a few days, but two of my friends commented that they can still smell the weed. Does anyone have any hacks here? I really want to get rid of the smell of weed in my room and car before they show up.
I’ve heard all kinds of tricks and hacks for this over the years, but for me, it’s really just a time thing if you’ve been smoking regularly. Opening the windows, lighting candles, burning incense, and running the fans will help dissipate it over time. But you mentioned you’re in a bit of a time pinch, so here’s my advice. First, try boiling some white vinegar. You can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to help make the room smell better if you’d like. Vinegar is a natural deodorizer, and boiling it will send those vinegar particles into the air where they’ll absorb the marijuana terpenes. Do that a few times with the windows open and you should be golden!
To start, you should find and eliminate any remnants of the joint. If you leave any of it in an ashtray or trash can, that can make the room smell more. After you get rid of it, consider washing anything fabric-y like your bedsheets or jackets you hang up in your room, wash your upholstery, and deodorize your carpet and rugs. The stench tends to cling to things that are made out of fabric.
If you want a more extreme solution you can try burning popcorn in your room. Burnt popcorn is like the trump card of smells. Your room won't smell like weed anymore because the smell of burnt popcorn will be so strong. Caution: the smell WILL linger for months.
I used to rub dryer sheets on everything and also put dryer sheets on the back of a fan and run it until my room smells fresh
