I'm asking on behalf of a friend. She is moving into a new condo. Before moving in she had new wood flooring installed throughout as well as having all the walls painted. She did not re-surface or do anything to the ceilings, which are those textured plaster ones.
The place reeks of curry from previous owner(s), even after all the new work done. What can she do to get rid of the strong curry smell? The smell does not seem to be from neighboring units, but seems to be from right inside her place. Could the ceilings have absorbed and hung onto the smell? If so, is there anything she can do about it without having to completely redo the ceilings?
