Unless a guest smokes regularly or heavily, our ventilation and air filtration is such that our cleaners have not yet alerted us to undeniable smoking, etc.Would love to hear what others use and their experiences with Minut as well (since in part, I went with Minut based on what I read here about the other alternative- NoiseAware).

But we can afford that (our current bay area home is paid off) and we have a regular income & no other debts.
