I am an idiot and bumped a burner on. We keep a cover on our stove and it melted and smoked. There were few flames and I was quickly able to put it out.
Any suggestions of diffuser blends to help get the smoke and plastic smell out of the air?
Also… take this as your sign to order a fire blanket.

I buy these citrus smelling things are are about 5/6 inches in diameter and they are for getting rid of kitchen and smoke smells. I think they are called Citrus Magic.

Charcoal, Baking soda first.

Baking soda in a pan. If you have a kitchen window, put a fan it blowing to the outside. It takes a while. Our microwave caught fire and it took about 2 weeks for the smell to be gone completely.

Boil vinegar (you can add some essential oils or citrus peels). You might want to be able to go out of the house for a little bit afterward so vinegar isn't the most pleasant smell.

I’ve looked at these on Amazon and have thought about ordering one but haven’t committed. We currently have several fire extinguishers and thankfully haven’t needed to use one. |

Where I live they have placed the bracket with fire extinguisher attached under the sink, necessitating going past the stove to get to the sink... Fire blanket sounds good...

Thank you for all of the advice. We have set the stove outside for a day or so to hopefully speed up the airing out process.
Yes, the fire blanket worked so very well. Plus, no additional mess from the fire extinguisher.

{..ordering fire blanket now...}
I'm glad it was just a small fire!
I don't have advice about the smell, but I'm sure one of the suggestions here will help.

I just wanted to chime in that you aren't an idiot. It was an accident!

Have you really cleaned all the surfaces with a good cleaner. Check your hood/vent too. If it has screens/filters, you will need to really clean them well, even if you didn't have the fan on.
