Eliminating Cigarette Smell in a House?
"Cindy" wrote in message .. . Any tips, hints or products someone could recommend to remove the smell of cigarette smoke from the home of ex-heavy smokers? snip Clean or replace drapes. Steam clean carpets. Spread plenty of baking soda on carpets and let sit for a day or two to absorb smell. Gently wash walls. Gently wash ceiling or paint. Let the room air out for a few days. We washed the drapes, walls, and linens in a heavy smoker's bedroom. We also spread a bunch of baking soda on the carpet and let it sit for a couple days before vacuuming. After airing out the room for a few days, there was no hint of smoke smell. The biggest culprits were the drapes, which reeked, the carpet, which smelled funky, and the linens, which just smelled smokey. g |
