I have been home for two solid days now and I am still cleaning and trying to get rid of the smell in this apartment. I am happy to report that it is lessening but it is still so frustrating. I went to the store Monday morning and picked up an array of cleaners but I am still trying to figure out how to use them all and trying to make sure not to mix them at all. I’ll let you know what I’m doing and maybe you can offer suggestions since I am not too sure about the heavy duty items like bleach and ammonia.
So far:
- I have mixed the bleach with water (25/75 solution) and sprayed down the bathroom, sprayed down the bedroom wall and floor board where there are water marks and discoloration, and dumped a cup of bleach in the toilet to clean
- I mixed the ammonia with water and mopped all of my tile floors
- I have put out 4 bowls of white vinegar to help with the smell
- I have been febreezing the front of the apartment every couple of hours
- I have opened all windows to help air things out
- I have placed 1 bowl vinegar and 1 box of baking soda in the fridge and 2 boxes of baking soda in the freezer.
So what else can I do to help things out? I was thinking about spraying either a bleach or ammonia mixture in the freezer where the smell is still bad. Not sure which one is better for this or if it is even safe. Anyone??? Cleaning is not a strong point of mine. At least I am not trying to shop for auto parts because I would really be up a creek!
