Like the others have said, make them smoke outside, you will have to scrub your whole house from top to bottom cleaning the walls,ceiling, carpets, and all the furniture. you will find that depending how long you have smoked inside. that the smoke leaves the yellow film on everything. Pine sol works well for covering the smell.  409 or greased lightning for getting rid of the film..  as for the cat liter just clean it throughout the day, also using the clumping liter with odor control helps..

I don't live with any smokers or inside animals, but the people that lived here before us did. I think they had 5 animals inside and even after deep cleaning the house top to bottom it still smells at times. It does help to keep candles going. I like using the burners that melt the candles instead of regular burning. Also, Scentsy has really nice things in all sorts of different fragrances. I love changing them out with the seasons. If you haven't heard of the Scentsy products, check them out at http://scentsy.net/  ;D

The best way I know to make my house smell good is by baking or slow cooking something.Cookies, applesauce or beef stew work best for me. :wave:

I have a GREAT suggestion. Home depot has this stuff called Odoban- I got the lavender scented stuff. You'll have to dillute it, but you spray your stuff and it helps remove the odor from things; I think it works GREAT. Its about $10.00 for a bottle of it, but it will last quite a long time b/c you dillute it down. Good luck!!!

I like the automatic sprays like airwick or glade.  I think that the ones with cinnamon smell the best!

great suggestions!
i've never tried the stove simmering-pot thing, but
i definitely will. glade has some great coupons out
right now and i've been wanting to try their oil candles,
so maybe i'll do that too. baking soda in the cat litter - CHECK  :thumbsup:

the "litter robot" thing looks cool too! too bad it's way
out of my price range, lol.

i've been trying to get the smoker to quit for awhile, sigh.

My ex wouldn't quit lol so I gave up on that. BUT I did get him to smoke outside at least ! :D

I am not sure about this ingredient claim however I will say that using any oil based air fresheners is VERY harmful. You breath in the oils and it coats the cilia along your air passages. It can cause asthma, bronchitis, phenomena and has been known to kill some people and small pets!
