Keep the house well ventilated (fans on, windows open, doors open, etc).
Bring a pot of water and vinegar to boil, then let simmer. Be sure to refill when it starts to get low.
Try also wiping your cupboards, counter tops, etc, down with vinegar or a vinegar water mixture.
- Slice an onion open, it may make your house smell like onions but it should absorb the smoke smell.
- Wipe things (cupboards, counters, etc) down with vanilla.

∙ 16y agoI do not get why you would want your house to smell like burnt plastic, but to make a long story short, go burn/melt plastic. They do not melt at very high temperatures (lcompared to some other substances). You can put some plastic in a pan and heat it up until it melts but MAKE SURE to do it safely and watch it as it burns at ALL TIMES. Xox, Smartiiz. by burnig plastic

∙ 14y agoOther than covering it up with some sort of sealant you probably have to change the very nature of the plastic, wich would mean changing its shape. I think this is because smell can absorb deeply into plastics.
Depending on the severity of the problem, renting an ozone generator might help destroy the molecules causing the odor. Ozone has proven effective at removing smoke smells from residential environments, etc. Getting the smell out of the plastic would depend how deep the smell is absorbed, the type of plastic, the size of the item, and how long you have available for treatment.

∙ 11y agoTo get rid of melted plastic fumes:
- First, remove all burnt materials from the room, house, or building. Remove anything the melted plastic touched.
- Second, open a window. Put a fan in front of the window but blowing OUT, not into the room.
- Third, spritz the air with a misting of water to disperse the particles and scent.
- Fourth, if in a bedroom, sleep somewhere else for the night.
- Fifth, make sure to remove the clothes you wore in that room. Shower and get it out of your hair and off your hands. If not, you will carry the odor to other rooms.
NOTE: The fumes from melted plastics are toxic.

What is the purpose of rubber or plastic insulation around appliance cords?
Rubber tends to not burn as easily as plastic. Also, rubber is more moisture-resistant than plastic. If rubber burns, the fumes from burning rubber are safer than fumes from burning plastic. Sometimes rubber is used because the cord tends to remain more flexible with rubber insulation.

How do you remove melted plastic from glass?
Melting plastic is tricky because you can easily char or burn it and can be dangerous because of the fumes released when the plastic melts. Also, different materials melt at different temperatures which can also make it difficult. If you have access to a pottery kiln, you could try putting the plastic in a kiln-safe container and melting it that way. However, it is unknown what will happen if you do so. Either way, I would not suggest melting plastic at home, just re-use it for something else or recycle it.
How do you get rid of petrol fumes?

How do you mold melted plastic?
The industrial shaping of melted plastic is almost exclusively done in molds. The process is called injection molding. A screw drives feed stock through a heater, and the molten plastic is forced out the "business end" into molds. It is possible to mold plastic by hand, but precautions absolutely must be observed. The plastic is hot and the fumes given off by hot plastic are toxic. Additionally, heating the plastic is something that must be carefully done as you can overheat it and pyrolyze the material. You can also cause it to catch fire. If you are not at ease with any ideas here, you should not be trying to mold melted plastic. Set yourself a learning curve and get up to speed before attempting anything like this. Safety is your first mission.
