I'm going to wash down all the walls and everything washable on Friday.

I happened to have this on hand for the used arm chair I was going to buy from CL. Turns out the chair is very clean and has no weird odors.

I sprayed this on the bamboo window blinds and the leather couch. When I got home this afternoon the smell wasn't as nauseatingly strong, so I'm hopeful it's on the way out.

Yes, I'm fussy. I don't want to mask the odor, I want it gone. I don't like walking in the door of my house and smelling last nights dinner, or my latest incineration.

DS gave me an Amazon gift card for Christmas.

I pulled apart the old vacuum cleaner a few days later and determined that the switch problem was not just a mechanical one but something electrical. Tired of messing with it - it's confined to the basement!

So ... I ordered a new vacuum and a couple of other things. I told DS if I had unwrapped a vacuum cleaner on Christmas morning, I would have run sobbing from the room!

Hey, ya know! Some vacuums can be used as air filtering machines ... I wonder how that would work for clearing a room of smoke ...
