How do you keep you house clean from smoke?

Q. my boyfriend refuses to smoke outside so i'm wondering becuase i know smoke stains objects and walls. How do i keep the walls clean and fresh and also objects from staining?

A. If you don't want to stand up and say "no smoking in the house", then buy lots of cleaning supplies, a good quality sponge mop, and tell him to get to work. Smoking ruins EVERYTHING. We smoked in our last house, and when we moved, after 4 years of smoking in it, we were disgusted with ourselves when we saw when we moved. We have never smoked in our new home. We had to completely wash every piece of wood furniture with Murphy's oil soap to get the film off of it. When pictures were taken off of the walls in rooms that weren't even smoked in, we were amazed at how the smoke had even damaged the walls in those rooms. (We had made a habit of washing walls in the living room every 3-4 months because the nicotine made them turn so brown, but hadn't noticed in the bedroom & kid's room that were never smoked in until we removed pictures). Smoking in your home leaves a film on everything you own, books, your computer, appliances, your curtains....everything...So, get ready to do a lot of cleaning if you dare THINK you can keep it clean. After writing all of this and remembering how disgusted we were I am wondering why we even still smoke? Oh yeah, we tried to quit and lasted a couple of weeks!!!

Plan on him spending a lot of his extra money on cleaning supplies (why spend yours?) have him get a GOOD quality sponge head mop to wash your walls with (the cheap ones won't last thru even one cleaniing), and MAKE HIM do the work, since he won't go outside.

Better yet....Get a boyfriend who respects you enough to go outside to smoke if you ask.
