Getting the "new house smell" out

I would like to rid our new home as much as possible of all the VOCs before we move in. Other than having the windows & doors open as much as possible, are there any other suggestions? Once in, I will try to add as many VOC cleansing plants as I can. We only have carpet in 2 bedrooms & that will be steam cleaned before we are in. I will also clean out all the new cabinetry & let it ventilate.

Is there anything else I am missing? Should I run the A/C hard for awhile? We have 5" filters - do I change those out frequently for the first few months?

Thank you!
