I'm going back to Wisconsin in a couple weeks to take care of my mom's house and sell it. She had a stroke in September, was taken to the hospital and I brought her home in October. We briefly went by the house to get a few things before we left. She had no running water or toilet. She has an outhouse and carried the buckets out to it. Her last bucket is still sitting by the bed. The whole house was saturated with the smell already. I'm buying the largest window fan I can find. Some ideas so far, wintergreen oil on your lip or a mask, filter mask with some kind of filter for fumes. Charcoal? I'll be spending a day or two at the laundromat, too. The clothes I brought back then had to be washed three times to get the smell out.
I'll need to be in the house for a few days to get out family valuables. I'm not thoroughly cleaning the house, it will be sold as-is.
What is the best way to make the house bearable for a few days? Most importantly, what kind of respirator should I get? I found many references here but no mention on what kind.
