worried about paint fumes....

i painted our entrance hall today which is downstairs, but still tonight the smell of paint fumes is giving me a headache.

i'm worried about preston as he lives indoors and i'm concerned about how the fumes will affect him? if at all :?

i've got the windows open still and the air purifier going but it doesn't seem to be helping much. unless i've got the smell up my nose cos i did the painting?

do you think he will be ok? he seems fine in himself. i'm just worried....

A bowl of vinegar (I think white is best) can help absorb fumes.

Possibly a cut onion or a cut lemon.

Might be worth trying all. If it doesn't work at least the house will smell of something other than paint.
