Our living room is covered in a thick layer of baking soda.

So far, the house's smell has been reduced largely... but thats from what I can tell. Its one of those things where I can't smell it if I'm in the house for a long period of time, and finally got fed up after being at work and doing laundry, came home to horribly mustiness and the sudden urge to ROLL THE COUCH AND SMOKE IT. I figure if the house doesn't smell like smoke I won't have that whole furniture smoking fetish that continues to plague me. So, Baking soda is being given a try--- I will know how well it works when I come home from work today!

The cats, however, are confused and playing "hot lava" over it-- Chewy just bounced from the linoleum to my lap to a cardboard box. That is both awesome and horrible because if he knocks anything else down Alan might say "fuck it" and eat him.

I'm thinking of full-on buying one of those $200 units that fully kicks the world's ass, I figure even if I'm not a smoker any more we'll always have smelly pets that like to pee on things and/or smelly children (that hopefully won't like to pee on things) and I should invest for long-term cleanness. I just can't decide on which one.

I'm slightly confused too. All I REALLY know is there's obviously something going on and I got to see Alan get frustrated, angry and grumble (now he just makes sour face and grumbles from time-to-time). Richie explained some shit to me.. but I'm still stumbling around, knocking shit over in the dark on this one. ..So Comment away! :)

Well, do you want to try to figure out this shit together? Seems some sort of talking needs to be done. Should we do this via e-mail?

A.) BAKING SODA WORKED. Its shocking, but it seems to have worked. There's a subtle aroma that will inevitably stay there until I've Febreeze and steam-vacced the mother fuck out of it, but so far, damn-near-clean smelling house! SHOCK AND AWE!
Well. Other than the distinct "Cats live here" smell that ACTUALLY manages to overpower the "ferrets live here" smell when the Ionic-thingie is on.

B.) Sent an overly long, twisty slightly confused and confusing E-mail, hopefully we'll get all this shit out on the table. :)

C.) What kind of Steam-Vac should I invest my amazing invisible money in? I have no idea-- I probably won't be using it anyway, because I HATE to Vacuum, but I don't know a good steam vac from a bad steam vac from a vaccum with a soda bottle attached that would inevitably stain the house and not make it cleaner. My logic is epic fail when it comes to vacuums.

You;re asking ME? Dude, I don't know if you saw it, but I just wrote a post about how I made two NORMAL vacuums explode. Trust me on NOTHING vac related.
