Removing odor from apartment
Obviously we have all dealt with certain types of food odors in properties before. Mostly we tend to have an odor additive to our paint when we paint and try to clean the kitchen appliances and scrub all the cabinets and so on. What have you come up with or is there a good way to get it out to be able to cut down on turn time and vacancy periods?

It seems to be just a certain type of cooking/cuisine that causes this (with as much emphasis on being as sensitive to other cultures as possible) We actually dug into it a bit more today and it seems as though the microwave (above the stove doubling as the hood without an outdoor vent) is holding on to some serious grease/dust that is undoubtedly a large portion of the concern. I will be replacing it with another one to see what that might do for the odor!
I'll be giving an update after that is completed and see if the smell dissipates.
