The house does not smell AT ALL until the wind blows. The other thing that makes Neil think it may be smoke is that when we use a humidifier in the boy's room some gunky stuff kinda gathers on the ceiling too, which I've also gone and washed off. It's most likely smoke because like you said it NEVER leaves but you can really only tell when it's windy.

He wasn't a smoke outside kinda guy, we smelled it every time he lit up. So when we kicked him out, we washed the walls with this amazing cleaner...the name of which is slipping my mind...but you would never know that there used to be a smoker in our house. If you want then name of the stuff, let me know and I'll ask the husband. :)The Wolff Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087108161677435151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30212095.post-83012127254455555612011-04-14T19:58:28.161-06:002011-04-14T19:58:28.161-06:00It probably is smoke.

Our place we rented last summer in Saskatoon smelled totally fine and by the end of the summer, after it had got super hot inside it smelled SO bad like smoke. I realized it the most coming back home aFtrr the summer and opening my suit case, it was nasty how much the clothes smelled like smoke. <br />Have you guys re painted? Or got the furnace and carpets cleaned? I've been told those are the things that help the most with it, yet the smell will still be in the cealings. So you may find it's always there regardless of what you do. <br /><br />Good luck! It's not a fun smell to deal with!!Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625578581535668591noreply@blogger.com
