Just picked up an old Volvo in great shape except for a strong tobacco
odour in the interior - recommendations for eliminating this problem
would be greatly appreciated TIA

Close the windows. Fill a bowl with white vinegar, allow to set for
some time; overnight or a few days.

I have plastic floor covers with lips. I pour white vinegar
on them to get rid of any tobacco and perfume that
got on me at customer sites.


Tip: turn your heater or air condition on for a few minutes
to suck some vinegar fumes into it.


Todd,

Are these clients casinos or brothels? LOL


Hi Oren,

Dress for success women are the worst. They are coated in
perfume. You sit in their chair to work on their computer
and you get soaked in it. Some home customers smoke
up a storm. It is really gross. Then you sit in your
car and both get all over the place. White vinegar
does the trick. Also works in the wash water.

Never worked at a casino or brothel, thank goodness.
Them things are for tourists and truckers!

Got an auto repair shop where all the mechanics do
not smoke. It is really, really nice to get your
car back not smelling like s---!
