I am a mum-to-be, my baby is due in April. Perhaps this question is better suited to a DIY site, but I am really worried about the room that we are planning on using as a nursery. It was initially the 'mancave' of our two bedroom flat, my husband used to smoke quite heavily in there. He hasn't smoked indoors for about 2 years, but the smell/smoke lingers. We are doing serious redecorating - ripping up the carpets, applying chemical cleaners to the walls and ceiling before sealing them and repainting. My worry is 'is this enough'? This is the mothering concern that is keeping me up at night. Am I being paranoid and silly, and do have germ-phobic tendencies. I am concerned that I am putting my baby at risk of third-hand smoke from the room's history. I also intend to buy an air purifier - something I would probably do regardless of this problem. Any comments would be appreciated, many thanks!
