Any products? Febreeze?

Gonesh Incense. Lots of it. ;-)
I prefer #6, "Ancient Times".

It really does work... I have that problem when I grill Tilapia.

Febreeze or one of the knock offs will work.... although it may take a
couple of applications and open your windows to air out the joint.

You could give vinegar a try...

Vinegar - Odor Control

From Pat Veretto,Your Guide to Frugal Living.
Eliminate odors - this odor goes away, too!

Strange that a strong smell like vinegar would eliminate odors
altogether, but it will. The vinegar smell disappears after awhile and
leaves nothing behind.

1. Air freshener, used with baking soda - use 1 teaspoon baking
soda, 1 tablespoon vinegar and 2 cups of water. After it stops
foaming, mix well, and use in a (recycled) spray bottle into the air.
2. This reader says: I liked the 'spray mister' approach to air
freshening, but as a sometimes poor bachelor cook, I have blackened
fish when it isn't on the menu. Vinegar in a towel, twirled about the
head will quickly stop the smoke detectors from screaming. It also
freshens the air, and captures the smoke smell before the whole house
is caught.
3. Added by another reader: Put vinegar on white bread around a
house to get rid of smoke smell fom a fire.
4. Set a container (shallow bowl) of vinegar throughout the house
to absorb unpleasant odors. Works great on burned food odors. Do not
use styrofoam. It will soak thru it.
5. Use diluted 1:1 in water to take pet odors out of carpets. Find
the spot, and saturate it with about 1 1/2 times the original volume.
Let set for awhile then blot up. Repeat if your cloth is very dirty
after blotting. I make sure to turn on a fan and open a window,
especially for large spots!
6. Warm a little vinegar on the stove when you cook fish or other
strong smelling food. It will help get rid of the odor.
7. Vinegar is great for eliminating tobacco smoke odors. Use small
disposable containers and fill about half way with cider vinegar.Sit
around in rooms where they can't be seen or found by children. This
gets rid of the smoke odors. You will want to discard each container
and replace with new container and fresh vinegar. Do this every 2 or 3
days.
8. One time I had a gallon of milk spill on the carpet of my car.
It was warm out and it created quite a mess. I tried everything but
could not get the smell out. A few days later a friend suggested white
vinegar. The odor disappeared.
9. When I fried fish, I boiled a tablesppoon of vinegar in the pan
that I used to fry fish in, and the smell was gone from my pan.

Vinegar. Mix some vinegar and water in a saucepan, add a cinnamon stick
and a couple of whole cloves, and simmer it for a while.

I've been cooking fish for YEARS and never noticed a lingering smell. OTOH,
when I buy fresh squid, my hubby has to leave the house for a bit. He can't
stand the smell of that. I don't mind it.

An open bowl of vinegar gets rid of cooking odours.

Or add it to a jar of sweet pickles when you are finished fumigating the
kitchen.

Ozium

A couple of 3 second sprays and all your odors (including odors from
buring tobacco ) will be gone in about 5 minutes. It is not a cover up
- this stuff actually absorbs the odors, drops to the floor and when you
vaccuum out it goes. Hotel, motels and convalescent homes have used
this for years.

This would be nice for pet odor control!

Ozium initially eliminates airborne odors by covering with it's own
fragrance and airborne bacteria, plus it remains in the air for hours
so you get to aspirate the chemical... and it does nothing about odors
already absorbed into household effects, like bedding, carpeting,
clothing, furniture, etc, and noting about sanitizing surfaces. It's
simply a longer lasting industrial strength room deoderizer of the type
used in public restrooms. If anyone is offended by fish odors
lingeringi n their home don't cook fish, couldn't be simpler. I don't
cook fish at home, that's what seafood restaurants are for.

Product Description:
Waterbury Ozium® Glycolized Air Sanitizer
Effectively reduces airborne bacteria and eliminates smoke and odors.
Cleanses the air with glycolized action: Lighter-than-air particles are
dispersed into the air where they remain suspended for 3-4 hours,
sanitizing and deodorizing and leaving a fresh fragrance.

Sheldon,

What, if anything, do you use for the cats?
I generally just use incense. I keep them clean but when they take a
dump, ooowhee!!!!!!!

How about when they get [censored] and spray? It's in this room and I can't
find it, dammit. It's definitely in HERE though.

Sheldon,

I think you have a lot more cats, I only have six.

I have three very large litter boxes, the kind with the top cover, two
per cat, They're cleaned twice a day and totally changed every other
day. Also the litter boxes are in the basement, just a typical
basement, not a living space. I have a large Sears dehumidifier
running in my basement, the drier the air the less the odors.

Most important is their diet. Don't feed canned food... stinks even
before going through the cat.. My cats get dried cat food, and very
few table scraps.

I occasionally deoderize the entire house by squirting a couple of
puffs of Ultrashield Auto Odor Eliminator into my Central Air intake...
plus my CA has an Aprilaire air cleaner w/ ultraviolet, which runs
24/7/3651/4.
