I use Mr. Clean with fabreeze to mop and wipe down each week. I use a melter everyonce in a while with lemon grass cubes, but don't leave it on to long, just until I can smell the scent, then off it goes. No dogs, cats or animals no smoking in the house. I'm a smoker but since moving into the new house I no longer smoke in the house, its so nice. Only time I miss it is when I'm reading a good book, used to love to relax with a pop, cigarette and a good book.
