Yeah congrats on the quitting smoking! I quit 29 years ago and am glad every day.

If you have a ducted HVAC system, a good cleaning of that can help with alot of odors and allergens too.

Congrats on quitting killing yourself 7 minutes at a time.
BUT none of the above advice will work as long as you have animals in the house. PERIOD .

Depends on the dog's name.

I once had a dog named Daisy. So my house always smelled like a daisy. Problem solved.

Thankfully you didn't have one named Poopsie.

So, I quit smoking recently and my sense of smell has increased like 1000% and I realized... my house uhhh kinda reeks.

Get your jokes out of the way, I'll wait...

nobody !!!!!

Somebody gots to say---Doesn't help, when you poop in your furnace!!!!

 

[Grumpaw]

I was going to, but didn't want to be the first....
But now, what about all the unknown who's and what's in the basement ? Even he admits he dosen't know what's down there, or how long it's been there ?
Also, we don't know how many times he's attempted to poop in that furnace, but being inebriated, he missed.

I have window AC units and an ancient coal furnace so no real ductwork.

Carpet and curtains hold the most odor in a room. Odor from couches can be pretty rank, but a smokers curtains are the worst smell to a NON Cigarette smoker like myself.

I'm a little ashamed of your dirtman…. Someone of your caliber should know that charcoal can remove odors. Go buy a $10 double pack of kingsford charcoal and use one bag in your house and cook with the other one. Put charcoal bricks all over! After about 3-4 weeks your house will smell like charcoal and problem solved. See, it's so simple.

Also try to apply some type of Enzyme to your carpet. It will stink like a mofo for a while, but when its done stinking, the biological matter is broke down and no more "smelly". Try to google P.UR.T., from a company called ChemDry. I used that stuff on all biological messes, puke blood poop piss. Works on them all

Where were you during my frat house days...

This is a little off topic but the talk of pooing in the furnace reminded me. We bought our first house in 76, it was an empty shell and I had to scramble to get it livable before winter- there was no time to get a septic system designed, approved, and installed. My wife was a good sport about the out house in the late summer but I knew she'd object in below zero weather. I bought a propane fired toilet from our gas company, it was called a "Destroilet" and I swear I'm not making that up. A fan would come on when the lid was opened and the air flow would push a little flapper back, indicating to the controller that the fan was working. Once your business was done and the lid was closed, a spark plug would start firing before the propane was injected. The burn cycle would last a few minutes and then the fan would run for a while to cool the bowl off. We had 2 problems with it-(1) the installer didn't read the directions and put a storm cap on the vent pipe causing a burnt sewage back draft. I read that part of the manual to the manager and made them come back and fix it. (2) We were in our early 20's and would often have 10-15 friends over on the weekend to party. After a few uses, the bowl wouldn't have time to cool down and a girl would go in there to pee, which caused it to sizzle and she'd scream. The next summer we installed a septic system and I sold the Destroilet by placing an ad in the NH Electric Coop news letter.

Still have them, called Incinolet. Burns your poop.
Was thinking about all of us getting togather and buying one for Dirtman for his birthday, or showerday, whichever comes first.
