This seems to help some...
I use the hood to exhaust fumes while cooking.
While cleaning, I open at least one window for ventilation, preferably two - one in the kitchen and one at the front of the house for cross-ventilation, assuming it's not freezing out. Then I wipe down the stove, and all kitchen surfaces including microwave, counters, the back of the stove, and the sink and faucet with a cleaner like Pine-Sol. I also boil a solution of 1 tbsp white vinegar and 1 cup water on the stove.

Also...
If you have a garbage disposal, use it to grind 1/4 of a lemon. If not, or if you don't have a lemon, run some white vinegar down the drain.

So how long do you boil the vinegar?
I did a fritto misto two weekends ago and we can still smell the oil whenever we come home. I boiled vinegar, I cooked water with lemon rind and cinnamon sticks, I opened windows... Kinda puts me off deep-frying (tho the anchovies sandwiched between sage leaves, man, I could fry those every day...).

I asked this question a while back, someone suggested leaving a bowl of amonia...
on the counter overnight, and I was very impressed by how well it worked! I put about a 1/2 cup in a cereal bowl and the next morning... it smelled very fresh in there.

I have also heard that leaving little bowls of vinegar out works too, but I haven't tried it.

I usually boil it 5-10 minutes.
I've found this doesn't completely work, but it does help some.

Try a Pet Odor Candle
I have the same problem, an open floor plan and my exhaust fan is not the greatest. I use a Pet Odor Exterminator Candle that I purchase from my veterinarian. It is distributed by Specialty Pet Products. It costs $10.00, but burns for 55 hours and works like a charm for me.
