I was at Wal-Mart today and saw carpet shampoo that was lavender scent. It was made to go in a Bissel carpet shampoo machine, but I read the bottle and it said you could also use it in the machines that you rent from the store. I thought I would try that since I have not found the ones you buy that go in the rented machines to smell that great.
By the way, this Lavender shampoo was on the isle beside the bissel shampooers at my Wal-Mart.

Another trick I use to hide doggy odor is mix some Lavender and Vanilla Downy fabric softner with water in a spray bottle and mist away. It smells wonderful. Another good use for this mix is to clean your appliances with it. It really helps to detract dust from sticking to them. My fridge is black and it seems like all the dust in my house goes straight to the front of the fridge. I read this tip in Heloise and I must say it works great. I even clean my kitchen counter tops with it. People always come in and ask what smells so good. They laugh when I tell them it is Downy.

That's great that you don't have anyone below you! Now I wish we were on the bottom floor in our apartment, that would be even better - it's a little patio and then grass. Oh well!

What's the water/ Lavender and Vanilla Downy fabric softner ratio on your mist?

I use about a downy cap full to a 22oz old empty Windex bottle (have been know to make it even a little stronger). It works great on fridge, oven & dishwasher fronts and I even clean my washer and dryer with it. I also use it on the back of my toilet to help control dust build up. I wipe all my kitchen and bathroom counters down with it, although I do this after fist using lysol to disinfect. I even clean my telephones, VCR's, back of the TV, basically anything other than wood or glass. I promise, your house will smell so great after you use it. I mist it on my fabric furniture and my bedspreads just like you would Frebreeze.
