... another thing you might want to try are essential oils, that can be healthier to breathe in than say, lysol and other synthetic sprays.

Try to stay green, if you know what I mean... opps, a rhyme, lol.

Asking someone in Whole Foods, or a health food store, might help in this area.

Is there a Whole Foods by you... by any chance.
They have many products that are friendly to our bodies as well as get the job done we need to do. You may find there are a variety of ways to chose to keep your air clean and free of stale smoke that are earth-friendly and smell good too!

Best to you in this new home.

Once you get it as you like it, and with the repairs being done, you will have a lovely space that can reflect back to you anything you desire... I like my home which had it's challenges at first... but the effort I put in at the start, made a difference for me... I love being at home.

I hope you can fill it with flowers and get a few plants to oxygenate the rooms... and maybe you'll be tempted to think about a little herb garden, right by the kitchen door or on the windowsill...

I would love to hear more about how you are progressing on this new home... as I'm sure it will be nice and homey when you are done.

Peace and 'Welcome Home'
Your Friend,
Night
