If you were moving into a stinky house ...

that smells really badly of gross smell what would you do? The carpets and beds needing serious cleaning and walls need entire re-decoration which will help with the smell, but would you hire a rug doctor, or would you buy a Bissell? Would it need more than one going over? Bearing in mind that I need to clean the carpets at the old house too, so will be at least two days hire if the carpets need doing once, but more if they need doing a few times.

Thanks cali-am replacing the curtains, so that won't matter. Should I wash the walls and ceiling before painting them? Or will it not matter? Never heard of the bicarb trick! Thankfully I can do all of this before we move in-yes!!!

Wooo Paws What a deal!

Good luck, I hope it is smell free for you soon.

Thank you all so much-I have my carpet cleaner, I know the type (vaguely) of paint I want, and have promised dd she can have a trampoline as we have a garden for the first time EVER (only a little gym trampoline though, not a huge one!)-the plan is she trampolines while I clean/paint-that won't happen will it xx

Let me know how well it cleans, I want photos

Am getting really giddy! Had a look around this pm it really was a lot smellier than I thought though, but everything is in rather good condition so may be ok! I can't wait!
