That's a more complicated conversation that we can fully answer here. A lot depends on what was on and within your walls before you applied the paint, what paint you used, and how long it's been. First and foremost, fresh paint needs to completely dry and cure before anything else can be applied on top of it. Increase airflow through the space as much as possible, you can also incorporate a dehumidifier to dry the air. It's possible that the paint you used activated something dormant in the previous paint layer, or within the walls (this could be anything between chemical preservatives such as formaldehyde or organic odors like perfume, cigarette smoke, etc.). We sell products that can be applied and encapsulate chemicals but will do next to nothing for organic smells. Let everything dry and cure. Give it a week. If it's still causing problems, give us a call at 1-800-405-0222 with more information and we can give recommendations as to what to try next.
