I just keep it cleaned on a weekly basis. If I have any material that smells musty, I throw it into the wash with ammonia or vinegar and laundry soap or Dawn. I stay away from any scents. I have 3 dogs but only one really likes to be in the room with me and that's near the door for a quick getaway. I have hardwood floors and use Murphy's oil soap on those. Most of my sewing equipment can be easily shuffled with exception of the sewing table but it's easy to get under. I also have a long nosed attachment for the vacuum to reach where I can't. I hate cleaning and will devote no more than 15 minutes to any room. My mops are industrial sized. No pussy footing around.
