I just wanted to throw out some thank yous for ideas!

1) Arm and Hammer Pet Deodorizer. I didn't think this product would make a big difference, but it was $1.99 in the Target pet section for a big carton, so I got it. Wow. I sprinkled it all over my wall-to-wall carpeting, and even before the 15 minute rest period before vaccuming was up, the entire apartment smelled so fresh and clean. Like the carpets had just had a professional shampoo. It also seems to have made the actual vaccuming much more effective. Like deep-down dirt was pulled to the surface. Bonus points for the fact that the $1.99 carton will easily last 12-15 vaccum cleanings. Definitely a new regular in my cleaning schedule.

2) I decided to set a saucepan with simmering water on the stove as per suggestions here. I threw in some vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon slices, and a kiwi that was starting to be overripe. My entire home smells like a freshly baked pie! I was cooking all afternoon making a special meal for my boyfriend for tonight, yet my house doesn't have any cooking smell. Just fresh, spicy, citrusy warmness all over the place.

Thanks for these suggestions!
