SAFE TRAVELS 🚐
♥︎ Danna
I'd dump the bed and all the couches, etc. If the landlord wants them, he can put them in storage. That smell will NOT go away.
That's what I was thinking. Also, a fresh coat of paint might help with smoke smells.... or at least scrib the walls and ceiling down.
Agreed
It's the man whose apartment she's temporarily using's couch!
It is the previous tenant’s sofa 🛋️ but it might carry a residual odour .
I came to say the same thing. There is probably dog pee on the furniture! Also if the floors are wood the pee will be in the wood. We had this problem in our house.
You should try reaching out to a mattress company for a sponsorship. You see them all over TH-cam.
Oh, that’s a great idea. Thank you. 🥰🥰
Vinegar 🎉 Vinegar to wash linens, walls, flooring to get rid of odors!
That's my go to go everything 😅. I use it in a mister bottle in the bathroom for an air freshener. Kills bacteria every where!
Is there an air conditioner filter in the apartment? If so, replace or wash it. That will help out tremendously with smell. If that furniture has been there long, smells will be deep into them. I had a cleaning business for over 25 years. Did more than my share of move-out cleanings. Besides the normal cleaning of cabinets, floors, surfaces, washing down walls (use as part of your exercise routine!), that will also help with smell. Best of luck beautiful lady.
Good idea😊
Put everything outside in the sun to help neutralize the smoke smells
Thisssssss😊
I had a similar issue in a home I inherited where multiple small dogs had been peeing all over the carpet throughout the home. It had absorbed into the sub floor. We used a primer called Kilz that was specifically made for pet odor. We put multiple layers before the new carpet was laid and it was great! Also, smoke smell tends to absorb into fabrics. You may be better off splurging on a new mattress.
I would have cleaned the concrete while you have the carpets up with a neutralizer.
I think they had someone who treats pet stains come in and change the carpets. They put some sort of something down lol. I hope so at least, but the smell is gone thank goodness.
Post an Amazon wish list and we will have a virtual shower ❤
Yes, great idea!!
Yes!
Yess!! Great idea!!
Yes! This would be fun!
Aww, that’s SUCH a sweet gesture 🥰🥰 love ya, girl! Thank you for your sweetness ✨💖
Odoban we cleared military housing black light test. We cleaned the carpets with it. Many different scents. Home Depot. Walmart carries spray.
wow that is amazing, what a solid rec. ty, going to try it too lol
I've used it too
Put pieces of charcoal on plates. Odors be gone🤠❤️
It will work! It has to work you are so ready.
Get a mop and lightly damp it with a cleaner and water and wash the walls that will help with smell.
Add a little Lysol concentrate, it takes care of the worst of odors. Used to use it on abandoned farm homes.
Thank you for the idea 🥰🥰
“I’m not a superficial person but I like looking like one” 😂 so funny Danna omg congrats on all the positive changes happening!
I feel so fortunate to live where I do in Northern California. We get perfect weather, almost year round.
Oh boy, here we go. Word of advice from someone that is feeling weighed down with all my STUFF 🥴why why why do i have so much stuff. Keep it neat & organized its a much better feeling. Good luck 👍 happy 4U 💕
i know you cant sell the couches, but i bet a lot of the smell is in them. i have a small dog and my cloth couches made my living room stink. she didnt even poop or pee on them, just her being on them and sometimes having wet paws or fur from rain that did not dry fully, permeated the cloth. if you can set them out in direct sun for a day or a week, it wlll kill the smell off them and sanitize them.
I just commented this too
Ya. I agree
I just buy new pairs of rollerblades because I've found that new wheels cost almost as much as new rollerblades.... plus, like you said, the boots do take a beating! Also, you would NOT be happy with $20 wheels.
Yay for you! You’re a maximalist and really a home is best for all the stuff you have going on… it seems like you’re really going to thrive in having a lot of space for your things and goals :) van life is really for people who either get buses and have lots of things or minimalists who can live life with just the basics… looking forward to watching you blossom! Without being bogged down by men or having too much stuff and/or needing to drive too much…
White vinegar and lemon for floors and surfaces. Bicarb soda to sprinkle on the bed if you have to keep it, leave for an hr then vacuum off. Also get a mattress topper so you dont actually sleep on the mattress provided. Essential oil mister. You can get the sofas cleaned. I think you moved in because your car was empty at the end 😉 if so congrats 🎉
i think you're in your new home rn. i am sooo happy for you it almost made me emotional. that place is huge too! 2 bedrooms?! amazing. you are going to thrive w a homebase. i loooove the social experiment w dating! bumble date storytimes blow up on YT too. i love dating content as a fellow gal over 30 dating for marriage/kids. hugs this is awesome could not have happened to anyone more deserving
also, i would get rid of all the furniture you are allowed to, esp the mattress. i move a lot and i always order those bed in a box foam mattresses off amazon for $100 for a queen. i even got my mom into them for her guest room. then i buy a cheap platform bed that doesnt require a boxspring ~$60. it honestly works great and it's so comfortable and easy. no lugging a big mattress.
You have inspired me SO MUCH-didn’t want to go to work out yesterday, but thought of you and meeting goals and that just switched my mindset 180- thank you!!
Good work!! 👏🏻
They allow cigarette smoking in their units? That is unheard of in CA…spoken from a prior smoker.
I was shocked at that too, no smoking is standard where I live. Like anywhere on the property.
Confused- are you subletting from the renter or renting directly?
Im in a crunch to find a roommate in Solvang, CA… most fabulous townhouse-fully furnished, with every kitchen gadget anyone would want.
It is a sublet until Nov.
Im hyper-sensitive to smells, don't sign until you know for sure!!!
Happy to say that a lot of the smell is gone. I think it’s lingering on the couches, but I’ll just throw them into storage or something.
Danna, take a swifter and wash/wipe down the walls. It will get dust and make it smell really nice. I'm so happy for you BUT what happens in November? Will you have the option of staying or will you have to move?
Oderban takes animal and smoke smell out you can spray it on the mattress and furniture you can clean walls clothes ect it comes in gallon concentrated jugs that you can put in a spray bottle to spray the beds and furniture it’s concentrated so make the strength you need sold at Walmart sams club and probably Costco it’s good to wipe on wood spray in shoes spray on clothes ect
There is probably pee in all the furniture and in the floors if it soaked through the carpet. It won’t air out, you need to also paint everything. Good luck!🍀
Either get rid of all the fabric furniture or have it professionally cleaned. Wipe down all the hard surfaces. Furniture, baseboards, cabinets inside and out etc. Also, put bowls of white vinegar around the apartment to help absorb the smelly smells!
I might start taking more guitar lessons from you. It will probably be before fall, but I'm not sure yet. I will let you know, but I'm seriously giving up chocolate so I can take lessons. I've just decided what's more important.
Maybe they need to treat the floor before the carpet is installed. Safe travels ❤
Thank you 🥰🥰 I think they hired someone who specializes in pet odor 🤞🏻🤞🏻
shining star 🤩 I'm going to be totally honest, are you able to sleep on a mattress where other people sweated? the woody furniture is ok, you can revamp its energy with some paint. in Temu you can find proper covers for the couchs and not be worried to use them too much. there are also Joom and Aliexpress that have plenty of choices. to sleep you have your futton. the smoke doesn't leave fabric so well, glad you'll have a brand new carpet. to remove the smell of the glue cut a onion in slices, place it in something with water and do one for each room. it also work to remove the paint smell. maybe it will help about the smoke. I'm so happy if the flat is yours already. I'm like you, I would be only focused on making the house a home. but remember us and keep us updated ❤
People sweat in hotel beds..
@@danceteamo6 true 🤗 but our home should be cleaner 🤩
I hope so. Would love to see you in a place of your own where you are safe and comfortable ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hope you’re moving in right now! Good luck ❤🎉
Haha… I had just decided to take profile pics sans makeup, great lighting, & cute outfit, bc those pertain to less than 5% of my life since I’ve been working outdoors for the last 8 years.
I think you will move into the apartment
You need a break from van life ❤
You look marvelous young lady! Super model💙👍
SOOO freaking excited for you!! I'm loving all the great cleaning feedback and positive vibes in the comments section!!!
Need to paint kilz over the concrete! It might take a few coats, animal pee soaks into the concrete and you should be able to see the areas where the animals peed.🥰
Hey Danna, there is this enzyme spray- totally non toxic and it gets rid of all DEM smells! Keep the fans running and open windows. Spray the walls (wash them after- use a window cleaner brush thing. I think you will be golden then! (Google the spray-) there is an enzyme spray for urine smells too- get the one with essential oils (it’s at Petco). Smells good, not strong and WORKS! 🎉I am so excited for you!!! ❤
Use tons of Nature's Miracle on everything. Saturate anything that's especially stinky. Do it multiple times and the smell will go away.
Have them paint the walls with Kilz!!
Sounds like ur moving in if the lease is approved. So happy u found a summer place wirh open opportunity after that. Interesting idea about Plainer Jane dating (is that like Girl Next Door?). Cant wait to see how u like it. Hopefully the guys will be at ur level of personality and dreams. ❤
Getting rid of cigarettes smoke is horrible! You have to wipe down walls and cabinets with white vinegar a few times , then repaint .
The carpet being removed should do a lot , but if the dog peed it sinks down on the floor. So they have to thoroughly clean the floors before they lay down carpet.
If there are any pee stains, they may have to remove the wood !
We had a home we rented and it took us 3 months to clean and paint to get rid of the smoke
I'm so so happy for you!! I would tell them you don't want the furniture. Email a mattress co., tell them you will promote them if they send you a mattress. That's what all TH-camrs do. Good luck!!
Makeup tutorial, pretty please!!
yes girl!!! You are definitely moving into that apartment. SO EXCITED!!!!
Danna, when I was a housecleaner at a hotel, there was an ozone machine that would desmell the place. I think it was ran overnight and noone could be in it for 24 hours or something. It was serious stuff. Maybe u can look into renting one or something? That smell WILL not go out of the bed and couch. Have the landlord take em out if they want it.
My friend bought a house from an old lady that smoked for 50 years. It so bad that the walls had picture frame stains on them when they removed the paintings. They had to wash and paint walls. You can hire or do it yourself.
I'm SO SO excited! I feel like I'm moving in! I love love organising new spaces. I love moving furniture around every few days to see the best change. I miss that!
So so so so excited for you!!! Onward to the universe providing for you!! I KNEW better days were coming for you!!! So much love and light and excitement from Canada 🇨🇦
Yup, it's called an ozone generator!
Yes…. You’re moving in🎉
You're looking great Danna 😍 I'm so excited for you and I love your apartment ❤ You might want to get rid of the bed or any other fabric. I think you're moving into your apartment 😊 ♥️🙋♀️♥️
You should see if they can put vinyl flooring in it so much more sanitary easy to clean. I didn’t think anybody put carpets anymore. I flip houses and I never put carpet in.
Maybe cleaning and deodorising the floor before the new carpet is installed will help getting rid of the smell. Walls can be cleaned afterwards.
Yay! I am so happy for you getting an apartment. I would be sure to sage out any old, negative energy first. You could also play frequency music for cleansing your space.
I’m glad to see all the support! Your talents are ready to explode! Going thru storage is emotional and like Christmas all in the same day.
Get an ozone machine. It cleands deep into the furnitute and even wood and walls. Just put the machine into s room, clise the door and let it run for 24 hrs. Air out well as it dmells like clorine at first. It gets tis of smoke smells and even mold in walls.
I wouldn’t use any of the furniture much less the bed. I’d keep the shelves though and just repaint them.
Love from Texas 🫶🏻
You did it! You manifested it!
Baking soda will help absorb odors place it in every room.
Oooooooh good idea. Thank you.
@@montanadannaPurchase near the pool supplies, you can get a ten pound bag for $10
o my gosh,
you overtook the bike...)
Hallelujah...!
The other room you could make an office and a yarn/project room!!
Weather looks amazing
Hey you can make sun coffe as well. It is very buttery tasting. Just get a big glass jar, put some coffee into anything that will hold it, let water slow drip into the coffee, tie up the bag and just leave it in the sun, heck a car seat would work. Dilute it tho😅 before you drink it.
There's a world of products for pet urine spots that the management should use before the carpet is put back in. You may have to put on the furniture fabrics also. An untrained dog can ruin a place forever if not treated properly afterward. Best wishes ❤️
YES! You ARE moving in! Candles baby🤠❤️
yes, I believe you've made the deal and are now moving the trailer stuff to your home to be 🌟
Girl you actually manifested this 😱 ✨
Yes please move in and enjoy a shower,kitchen,A/C and being able to stretch out and rest❤❤❤but I really think you are moving in.
Wash the walls! It will make a huge difference!
I'm so happy you are finally getting into an apartment. Yay🎉
Yay, congrats. I'm so happy for you 😊! Maybe you could order a new mattress. When I moved into my home, I bought a queen-size mattress from amazon for the guest bedroom. It was affordable and very comfortable! Also, if after the new carpet and a thorough cleaning, the apartment still smells like pee. I dont think you should move in. It could impact your physical and mental health.
hey! I haven't watched your vids in like 4ever, and I do recall your personal style. nice to catch up with your life again.p.s., no one is more determined than a woman moving furniture by herself.
Yessssss❤😊 so happy for you! It's so nice!!!
Usually apartments get a new coat of paint with the carpets being replaced or deep cleaned. If keeping the furniture you could spray down with Odor Ban (lavender scent) and or clean them with a rented cleaner. Really nice place though, hope you get in out of the heat.
I’m 53 now haven’t dated in 10 years… wouldn’t know where to meet people at this point but if could tell my younger self to take the make up off dress more conservative and meet people on that level I would. People think being attractive is easier… I went through ten hells attracting all the wrong (narcissist superficial) people over and over. So you are definitely on the right track!!! Good luck my son is 29 and is also having same issue. Be nice if there were meetups for single likeminded peeps!!! Much love and happiness!
I am 54 and same thing. In fact, the last guy I dated was someone who wanted to watch Game of Thrones. Actually I wanted to watch it, he had already seen it. But I also went thru dating nightmares, I am blonde, blue eyes, 5'10" and was too dumb to realize that I was just arm candy. I even had one guy tell me that I was cheaper than an escort service and he USED dating websites to get girls to hang out with him. Yep. He was from the Middle East, but has been here since high school, do I don't really that, but his parents got him his wife, they introduced him when they moved closer so I was like bye.
Are they going to paint the walls? That holds onto cigarette smoke smell too.
Don't use the extra bath for storage, where will your guests (who you don't want seeing your private bath stuff) use the restroom. Put them in the spare bedroom, cover with sheets and use them in there. Even if it's just to stack stuff on.
Idea on matress. A plastic mattress cover. I think
Public Storage sells them.
My god I hope you are moving in. Fingers crossed!!!
I hope you move in cuz you need a brake I'm so happy for you I can see the smile I started watching these videos for congrats danna have a blessed day 😊
Girl, yes!!!!!
Major tip to rid urine smells: Mix up peroxide, dawn liquid dish soap, baking soda and hot water. Play with the mixture ratio. Pour or spray on anything that smells bad & let sit. It definitely works awesome once you use the right amount for whatever you are targeting with it.
I am BEYOND EXCITED FOR YOU !!!!!!
I think you are and I send you every blessing
So happy for you!! You deserve all good things!! You have such good vibes and seem so sweet!! Wishing you the best in your new home. Yes, check all thrift stores for things that you need - such good deals. Enjoy every minute🩷
The pee smell may have gone into the cement and you have to paint over it with a special paint. Smell may also be in the furniture.
We had to do this in one house we lived in. You must seal the floor before the carpet goes in or the smell will come through.
Actually, for a rental, you’re better off, money & time wise, just spraying something like Odor Ban or Fabreeze on the floor. I’ve always used Lysol concentrate bc we do so much flipping old country stuff.
Absolutely you are moving in to this place, feels like the right move.
I'm soooo excited for you!
I hope you are able to move in. I’m wondering if the smell will be in the furniture that’s staying there ,like the mattress and couch. Maybe those things could be put in a little storage or somewhere if he needs to keep them. I’m sending good vibes that it all works out.
Congrats Danna!!!
You should move in and enjoy your summer there!! I'm excited for you!!
That's great your own space ! You can always buy slip covers for the couch and what a difference they make !!! Get a different matress
Move in. You got this👍🏾
I second the motion-don’t keep the sofas and beds…negatory:)
I’m so happy for u!! I really hope that u decide to keep a home base & u can still travel, but have a home to come back to.
Omg I want some rollerblades!
Yeah!!! Rent an ozone generator to get rid of smell.
It's a nice apartment and I hope it works out for you. I don't think you'll be able to get the smell out while the furniture is still there though. It's probably too late, but the walls should have been scrubbed and repainted too. Cigarette smoke and urine are so damn hard to get rid of. Good luck!
I think you are and so happy for you!
Moving in !!
I’m so happy for you!
I am glad for you!!!
I'm almost in the same boat as you right now. I got two months to go on my current lease, which I will not resigning because property management has dropped the ball multiple times the last few years, and I'm in the process of clearing out 17 years worth of junk.
