How do I reduce or eliminate the small of spray paint?

What I use to reduce or eliminate the smell on something I have spray painted?

I've waited for days for the smell to go away, but its still lingering on it.

Is there a spray that I have to apply after I spray paint? Or something I can apply that will reduce the smell. I tried soap and water, windex, and some other cleaning liquids.

PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST ONIONS OR GARLIC

**TRYING TO REDUCE, NOT REPLACE THE SMELL**

Thanks.

    You should use some type of odor eliminator. One of the best ones I have found and been very successful with is from Gonzo Corporation. They're these volcanic crystals, and they don't project any type of overwhelming scent. Work awesome. Check it out here:

    open a window and air out the room as long as possible (at least 2 hours) - it's the only way - using other sprays will only make matters worse.
