How to get rid of the burnt smell?

There was never any smoke, and there is no fabric in the room. The smell is definitely centered around the front portion of the tank. I'll try and clean everything again, as well as the carpet. See what happens then, or maybe it will just disipate on its own.

I don't see mention of baking soda... sprinkled liberally on smelly surfaces, or left in open ontainers near odor sources, it can be quite effective. Also, Nilodor, if you can stand ITS smell, works on a lot of smells.

unfortunatly just because you didnt see smoke doesnt mean it wasnt there. i would also reccomend just washing your walls with a soapy water. a GOOD CLEAN of the whole immeadiate area would be your best bet wipe down EVERYTHING. walls plants as a smokey odor can Linger a long time on inatiment objects. it can get into dust and such.

Carpet will hold those odors for a long time. Arm and Hammer makes a product for sprinkling on the carpet but good old baking soda sprinkled on the carpet and left for a couple of days before vacuuming works wonders.
