I rented my duplex out to some druggies (no, i didn't do a background check and yes, i will DEFINITELY do that from here on out), and they left the stench of meth and cigarettes in the place. I've painted and it just smells like paint mixed in WITH the pre-existing smell. I REALLY don't want to replace the carpet seeing as they were the only ones to live on that carpet since it was installed just before they moved in! Anyone have any odor-eliminating methods? Yes, i've done basic cleaning and tried to HIDE the odors with spray stuff.

Thanks,
John
