Yesterday, I did a REALLY DUMB THING!!! I went off shopping and left a pot of beans on the stove with the burner turned up high. (I'm trying to figure out how I did this, and I know that somehow, President bush MUST be to blame).

When I returned an hour later, the entire house was completly filled with smoke. I ran to the stove, turned the burner off. Luckily, there was NO FIRE.

What was strange was that the smoke was pure white ... not the black and sooty smoke that IS common with house fires.

I got the cats (3) in a back bedroom, and set up fans and the smoke cleared out in an hour. But now, we have this very strong smoky smell.

I have set a small fan blowing across a wide pan of vinager, and this seems to be helping.

Does anyone have any suggestions as how best to clear away the smell. There is NO SOOT or obvious smoke damage, just this bad odor.

I'd appreciate any suggestions. And yes, I'm feeling VERY STUPID!. Bob(deckman)Nelson
