    The air you’re pushing out needs to be replaced somehow. If there’s only one window open, then the only place for air to come in is through that same window, and it won’t work too well. But, if you have two windows open on opposite sides of the room, then that would work very well. If there is a second window open anywhere in the house, the air will be pulled through the house from that window.

    But, also simply stirring it around will dilute it, and make it less noticeable.

    there exists a video on YouTube checking exactly that. as far as I remember, a big fan inside the room pushing air outside works best, because the moving air pulls the air around it with it.

    like inflating a plastic bag by blowing into it from a few feet is way faster, then putting you mouth to the opening and trying to blow it up like a baloon
