I'm buying a house from someone who has a dog and is a smoker. I am a
dog hater and non-smoker and am keen to remove any doggy/smoking smells
when I get moved into the house.

Tips, please on removing doggy odours.

* I am replacing most of the carpets.
* I'll replace or wash out most of the curtains/blinds.
* They are leaving a old leather chesterfield type settee -- a vacuum
and wipe down with soap & water should freshen it up?
* Ceilings don't seem too yellow from cigarette smoke -- a good sign.
Thanks

You can get rid of a lot of smells around the house by burning a few
candles.
This tip was given me by the proprietor of a taxi firm who took over a
business where previous drivers hanging around the office stunk the
place out with cigarette smoke and takeaway meals all day and night.

Neutrodol carpet powder is quite effective too.
