We are now out of options. The room is empty, and my living room and kitchen are chock full of our hidden lives. Shoes are every where. Boots are blocking the door. The laundry is in front of the stove. It is 100 degrees out and The Smell is worse than ever. Our neighbor declares it smells like insecticide and claims she saved us $750 and don't have to hire the expensive men with smell machines.
Google, my friend, is not helping identify The Smell. It could be anything. But I see that a lot of people have trouble with smoking related smells. And cat urine.
Then I hit the jackpot. This site gives very clear instructions on how to track an odor using things we already have: tin foil, paper towels and blue painter's tape. We put 11 patches on the floors, ceiling, walls, baseboards, shut the room and wait 24 hours.
In the meantime, it's Friday of a holiday weekend, and we finally got the super to come in. He sniffed and said, "what am I supposed to do about that?" and departed.
