Dealing with stubborn odors

Seasonal house cleaning always should include the removal of stubborn and offensive odors from the home. In the summertime we can open up the doors and windows, and let the fresh air circulate through the house. However, as the temperatures drop and we keep house closed up, stubborn odors such as cigarette smoke and pet odors begin to reappear. Many of us will be deep cleaning our house before the holidays, and the weather may not permit us to open up windows and doors to remove stale or offensive odors. Allow is to offer some tips that you might find a little more successful:

Eliminating cigarette smoke

• Cigarette smoke permeates everything from clothing to walls and ceilings. It sticks around for years after the smoke has cleared.
• This is one task where you may definitely need some professional help.
• If you decide to handle the tasks yourself, sprinkle baking soda over the carpets and upholstered furniture.
• Let it sit for a few hours.
• Vacuum up the baking soda with a machine that has a HEPA filter.
• After vacuuming, give the furniture a good steam cleaning.
• Walls and ceilings should be sealed and repainted if washing is not possible or ineffective.
