Lingering Paint Odor Kitchen Cabinets

7 years ago

I had my kitchen cabinets painted inside boxes as well, about 5 months ago with a Sherwin Williams Oil Based Primer and then finished with Emerald Urethane paint but their seems to be a lingering paint odor on the insides of the cabinet boxes that does not go away and also gets trapped in the glasses and dinner ware. I have tried vinegar, baking soda, charcoal and just about every other tip on the internet. Does anyone have recommendations to remove this smell? I was thinking a mini air purifier inside of the cabinet but not sure how effective it would be.

Wide open, nothing in them, and fans blowing would be the best. The paint needs to cure completely.

After 5 months the paint wouldn’t be cured? How long would you recommend that I leave them open with the fans blowing into them?

@dhrupalp, I'm having the same issue months after our cabinets were installed. I recently put boxes of baking soda in the cabinets and that helped a little, but there's still a slight odor. Did you do anything that worked or did the paint odor go away with time?

I am having the same issue. We have a custom entertainment center that was built and painted. It has been 4 months and the smell isn't a paint smell but some chemical smell. We he fans blowing and windows open. Will the smell ever go away?
