HITACHi Air Conditioner green light turn off

Since last year I have a HITACHI Air Conditioner and the technician told me to clean the filters every two weeks, but he didn't mention anything about the green led. So after a while, this green light turned on, I noticed it has something to do with the filters so I have cleaned them hoping it has some sensor and will turn off automatically. But it didn't. Later I found you have to press the AUTO SWING from the remote while the unit is off. And after 200 hours of functioning it will turn on again to remind you about cleaning the filters.

New painted wall with Crown or Kraft stinks

I used two different paint colors in a room. One wall green with Crown the others white with Kraft. I noticed a smell right after finishing them, but I thought it's normal and it will go away within a few days. Days passed, weeks passed and the room was still smelling like gas. Everyone entering asked about leaking, but there were no pipes nearby. Someone installing the furniture asked why the room smells like medicines.

I asked the paint shop about this, they had no idea. I was getting desperate and I started to try things to make the smell go away:

• air purifier - no effect


• water with sodium bicarbonate spray - the smell was going away for a few hours then it was getting back


• cut onions - after this the smell was not so strong but still present


• vinegar spray - it was now smelling of vinegar instead of gas, and it was not so annoying but it didn't last too much


• candles - I read somewhere that fire neutralizes some substances causing smells, but I didn't notice improvements


• essential oil - I think this had a very strong and positive effect, it was the last thing I tried and within days the smell was gone completely

As you can see I have tried many things and I'm not sure which of them helped, but the important thing is the walls no longer stink.
