Painting your home can give it a fresh, updated look, but the smell of paint can linger long after the project is done. If you want to minimize this unpleasant odor, a great hack is to add a few drops of vanilla extract to your paint can. Adding a tablespoon of vanilla extract per gallon of paint can reduce the strong smell of varnish and leave your room with a pleasant, subtle vanilla scent.
This hack is the perfect way to make your painting experience more enjoyable and help you feel more comfortable in your home after completing the project. Best of all, you may already have some vanilla extract in your kitchen cupboard!
