tuyo scent busters

tuyo is any kind of small fish, salted and sun dried. tuyo, which literally means 'dried', is a poor man's food. however, filipinos, rich or poor, are very much into eating this delicacy on any meal.

tuyo is usually fried and eaten with vinegar and hot chili peppers or man-handled tomatoes. i don't know why but this is best eaten on a rainy day!


the problem (or the good thing - depends on you) with cooking tuyo is that the scent (love it or hate it) of the fried fish will engulf the whole house and even invade the streets around you.


people passing by would sense the smell and would blurt out...that smells good!!!! and then they would cook tuyo as well.


but this blog is not about tuyo, it's about how to get rid of the smell in your house! we found a good combination which we practice and perfectly removes the odor quickly in 2 simple steps.



Step 1. Open all windows and doors. This is very simple to do. No muscles necessary.


Step 2. This is the hard part. With the very minimal muscle activity on step 1, you now have to exert effort for this one. Get a floor wax from a nearby store, preferably the scented variety, and wax the floor of your house! this sounds unreal but it works! you will not only have a good dinner, but your house will look clean after. Yeah!
