Odor removal?

I've moved into an apartment where the walls have been painted and the carpet cleaned twice. The smells of the previous tenent are still in the apartment.

How do I get rid of the odor?

If the smell is in the carpet, then sprinkle baking soda over it. This is a natural way to eat the odor, and remove it, not just mask it. Also any hard countertops and floors can be cleaned with white vinegar or some type of bleach solution, which will disinfect and kill odors as well. Finally, buy some Febreze, which claims to kill odors, and spray that on anything that you didn't touch with the baking soda or vinegar. This should get rid of most of the smells, though in the meantime burn some candles! Good luck!
