About the Eliminating Fish Odours PDF Guide

The smell of fish has a habit of turning up where it isn't wanted: on a coat after a day's fishing, in the car after a trip to the fishmonger, or in the kitchen long after supper. This fish odour guide is a short, three-page PDF you can save and come back to.

It starts by explaining why fish smells (a natural compound in fish breaks down as it ages), then works through the places the smell lingers. As well as hands, pots, pans, bowls, microwaves and fridges, it covers the trickier ones: fish smell from carpets and upholstery, clothes and other fabrics, and fish smell in the car. It ends with ideas for reducing or masking cooking smells in the first place.

We wrote the guide in 2014. Some of its tips, such as rinsing fish before cooking, are older advice that we no longer give, so for our current advice on the kitchen and hands, read our free online guide, Getting Rid of Fish Smells. If your hands are the main problem, see our Finger Fresh stainless steel bar.

The PDF costs nothing. Add it to your basket and check out, and the download link arrives in your order confirmation email. Save it to your phone and it's there the next time a coat, car boot or cool bag smells of fish, or the fridge needs freshening.
