Moving in update

Today I picked up Anamaria, my cleaning lady, so she could see the new apartment and have a first round of cleaning.
Before starting we had to buy all the cleaning products / tools for tiles because you need the right equipment to clean properly, so I was explained.
In 5 hours, the 2 of us reduced significantly the chaos and dust in the place. Kitchen and bathroom are fully operating. It's a pity that the oven doesn't ring when it's done or maybe we've missed it and should read the manual.
Coach, TV, DVD player and Wii are set up. DVDs are nicely organized on the shelves (well at least mine ;)).
Wardrobe is full again, but still need to sort out extra hanging space and shoes storage.
Guest room is ready. Anyone interested?.
One big item is pending: where do we put all those books? let's face it between the 2 of us, we have nearly a library aisle on hand.
Still no phone or Internet, but that will come only in a month from now.

PS: In case you have experience with tiles, here is a question for you: how do you remove marks of paint, plaster and "mastic" (I believe filler or putty dixit Google translation) left by the workers? standard products with sponge didn't work so we could use some advise. Thanks in advance.
