You all are great with advise on how to clean the place up but I'm really interested in how anyone could ever live in place like that!! What are the circumstances as to why it got this way? Can you imagine.....?? It always interests me how other people live. I like to go to Open Houses, even when I'm not in the market to buy a house, hahaha.

Hi Carol
I too think a window unit will be fine. If however you have no need for either heat or air certain times of the year I would invest in a dehumidifier in case of high humidity. Also be careful with any kind of plastic near your fabrics unless you are sure it is free of any kind of chemicals or residue. Some times these things can do more damage then one would think.
And also I am very happy for you but very jealous. Congrats!!!

If you would use a stain blocker - like Kilz - you wouldn't have had to wash the walls or ceilings. kilz is used to cover water marks Etc. It seals stains so they won't bleed through the new paint. Grease Lightening should remove the grease, or the new Dawn Direct Foam or good ole ammonia.

My brother and sister in law have used "Odoban" for years with good results.
I think its called Odorban. My sister uses it in her kennels.

Thanks again everybody. I'm still taking notes. I have Greased Lightning and Awesome and now I'm writing down Odorban to try it too. I don't feel like I'm in this alone. You don't know how much I appreciate all your responses. Carol

I am so envious of you...I know it will be lots of work, but the excitement and anticipation would be enough to get me up at the crack of dawn each day and get to work. My body is just too worn out to do that kind of work any longer though. Good luck and keep up posted on how things are coming.
