Wall Heater

I ran the heater the whole of yesterday and when it was time for bedtime last night, there was still a faint chemical smell - very faint, but it was fine to close the door.

Baby slept with the door closed, and the heater on, and when I went to check on her, she was about a metre away from her blankets as she always is, but she was warm to the touch, which was great - not hot or sweaty, just comfortable warm.

Wall heaters are the bomb!! Now my 4 year old is arguing why she did not get a heater ....

Hahaha. You see this is what happens when they turn all domestic on us. It's the combination of macho DIYing and cleaning. It just confuses us.

Kristin - I think you are right, we did not read the instructions. Kennith had a drill and a spirit level, I was impressed enough - then he even pulled out the vacuum cleaner to clean up the dust ... I think I was too stunned to reach for the instruction book.

Bless his cotton socks.

Thanks RM

RM if it is the econo heater I remember my DH saying something about it having to run for a certain period of time to get rid of the smell. I think it said that in the instructions. I know, unbelievable, a man reading instructions!

Yes, I am going to run it for today and hope that by this evening the smell has gone and what ever has disappeared.

But good to be aware that this stuff can happen with new things.

RM I agree, anything staying in a childs room should be tested for funny smells and stuff first! I have a few of those heaters and never experienced that before, just check it out and return it if it doesn't go away.
