I’ve never seen anything like this one before…it’s a FOGGER for cars! Gonesmoke Auto Fogger. took every bit of smoke out of this used car just bought. Tells you to run the engine with air on high/recirculate. Pretty amazing stuff!

I smoke sometimes before my mom comes home from work and i spend a looong time trying to get rid of the smell.. i only have 2 hours to achieve this and i found a good way.. if you have this problem i recomend soaking a small towell with bleach and then wave it around the smoke smelling room.. this is very helpful.. make sure its not dripping though or you will discolor your whole room..

I’m a foster mom and a devout nonsmoker. I’m allergic to cigarettes and simply hate the smell. I often get kids who come with everything just reeking of cigarettes. I just now found a solution that may work for others to get HEAVY cigarette smell out of clothes. I have a front loader washing machine. I washed some clothes in warm/cold with some ammonia, laundry soap (directions say use much less soap as the ammonia makes the soap go farther), and fabric softener. I used Tide HE and maybe 3/4 cup of ammonia (which says on the label can be used in the laundry) and Downy fabric softener. It took 2 washings, but the stuff is fresh now, surprisingly enough. I have soft water too, along with a front loader, so I don’t use as much soap as most people or I’ll wind up with a sudsy nightmare. Good luck to you all. I love garage sale-ing (who knows how to spell that!) but I once had to throw out a shirt I bought after washing it 3 or 4 times as it still smelled disgusting. BTW, I have an extremely accute sense of smell. The ammonia is what did the trick.

I bought an air purifier (XJ-3000D) from ThePureAirStore.com for a really good price and even though I’m allergic to cigarette smoke, (and my partner smokes in the house) but with my air purifier I never have a problem with my allergies and the house never smells like cigarettes! I highly recommend buying an air purifier.

I’m really sorry I don’t have any tips but I did date a guy who detailed cars and he basically said everything that the post from the other car guys stated which recommend ozone products/bio-products and a really good scrubbing.

I have to empathize, I live with a horrible smoker! I am so sad that I smell dirty right after taking a shower. It’s in my hair, my clothes, by mattress, my shoes, and even when I blow my nose there’s this weird gray colored streak in some of the mucous secretions!! I know it’s sick!!! I am convinced that my skin is even absorbing these nasty chemicals = ( Anyway it just can’t be good for my health. I once heard a comedian say “Yeah, I smoke so what? I don’t give a f**k about killing myself,so why should I care about you whiny non-smokers?” I think that sums it up quite well.

No one in our home are smokers but our neighbors do smoke and there smoke comes through our shared walls. Is there anything, other than move, we can do? My husband is having a hard time breathing. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Anybody has a trick for getting rid of smoke smell off electronics? I recently bought a used Xbox 360 and it reeks of cigarettes. I go in my room and I can smell it. Ugh. Help!

Terri, Im in the same boat as you. Only, it’s my parents, AND my mothers parents. All of which have been smoking for well over 30 years (minimum). It’s so hard for people to believe that I myself do not smoke because of how hard it is for me to avoid it in my own home.

I had a smelly odor in my home due to smoking. My bed smelt like it, my furniture smelt like it, and my clothes. I tried using candles, but that didnt help unless you were nest to the candle. I tried Febreeze, but only a few minutes. A friend of mine suggested using an air purifier. I bought a filter one and tried it, it didnt help at all. I came across a different type of air purifier, Air Oasis. I bought a room unit. I love it! About a month later, I bought an induct unit. It covers my whole house. I get compliments all the time on how clean my home smells. I wouldnt trade it for any oher type of its kind.

I would like to say to all the people who make the comment “to just shut up and quit smoking”. My mother and my husband smokes so I have to live with a smoker. I don’t like it but I am stuck with it. Smokers are so inconsiderate people in the world. Smoking is so important to my mother and more so as she has aged. She will on purpose light up and smoke even if someone is asking her to smoke outside or in another room, and everything stinks so bad that when she opens her purse, its all I can do not to throw up and then she will claim she smells nothing. So non smokers are subjected to smoke from smokers all the time and most smokers don’t care. So even through I hate cigerette smoke there is little I can do not to come in contact with the smells it leaves behind. So as it would be nice just to “shut up and quit” thats not life for most people and yes I mean the non smokers of the world. And I have found that the more I say or ask smokers to please not smoke around me I have found most just smoke more. There mentality not mine.

I live in a house where 4 of my family memebers smoke heavily. There is nothing I can seem to do to escape my hair and clothes from smelling like it. I’ve tried many products, but there is always a hint of the musky cigarette odor. Im tired of having to shower RIGHT before leaving, to avoid sitting in the house, and smelling like it; going outside with my hair wet.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Removing cigarette smoke smell from your car is pretty easy if you do it once a month. Be prepared to use harsh chemicals though. I used to be a reconditioning guy at a car dealership.

Step 1:

Vac the car. Completely. Everything needs to come out.

Step 2:

WASH THE INSIDES OF THE WINDOWS! Use non-streak glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. This will rid the windows of resin. Get into every little area too. Everything! Windshield, windows, back window, SUNROOF.

Step 3: Mix the ammo.

Lacquer Thinner, Carpet Foam, Good Smelly Stuff :

1:1 Lacquer Thinner/Water. Add some carpet foam and whatever smelly stuff you want.

Step 4: Fire!

No, dont fire. Lacquer thinner will bleach your interior. Spray the mixture on a lint-free rag and wipe down the headliner, and the pillars. The drivers side A B and C pillars are going to contain the most resin.

Step 4: Wipe down the carpet.

Step 5: Clean the vents! I dont me just wipe them down, get inside them if you can. Spray some of the mixture into the vents and blast the heat. Replace the cabin filter.

Step 6: Clean the seats. If you have leather, wipe them down with soap and water.

Step 7: Open every single window and blast the heat.

Your done! The interior should be really close to being smoke-neutral. Ive seen some REALLY bad cars. I cleaned a brand new Lexus RX that had a cream interior. The woman who owned it never opened a window when she smoked… the A pillar on the drivers side was dark dark yellow. This cleaned it up pretty well, but it took me 16 hours.

If you want to go hardcore, scotch guard everything. Dont load it up, but put a nice layer down and then let it dry.

Try Biocide System’s Room Shocker. This product works very well at getting cigarette odors out of everything in the room.

People just shut up and quit smoking. Enough of the freakin’ whining! Are you just too stupid to buy this thing called… hmmm… let’s see… NICOTINE GUM!

Oh. by the way, I smoked everyday for several years but decided not to because the SMOKE is so harmful. That’s what happens to people who actually CARE about themselves and others.

Oh yes I know what addiction is all about and a big part of it is childish narcissism. If these people were really caring they’d just go get some freakin’ GUM as it contains nicotine and actually it gives you a BETTER BUZZ. So again… enough of the whining!!!

It really is funny seeing these smokers get on here giving suggestions on how to reduce the smell of the smoke. How ironic. Grow up.

I am not a smoker. For some reason, the smell of cigarette smoke does not bother me as much as the smell of a house with cats or dogs in it.
It really stinks for a long time. I bought a car were the previous owner kept a dog, and hair was all over the back seats. The car smelled and I had to get rid of it.

I think, baking soda and vinegar reduce cigarette smoke smell to a minimum; hardly noticeable.

Thanks.

[...] How to Get Rid of Cigarette Smell HTH. I know Bicarbonate of Soda worked absolute wonders when getting rid of a vomit smell in the car after I’d been a bit too quick in the Alps and my duaghter wasn’t too happy in the back seat! Seems like it can help with the rest of the car and ciggie smells too. [...]

with good results I have used the baking soda on the carpets and furniture and left it overnight also washed walls and floors with vinegar..plus I buy these little bottles of scented oil such as vanilla they are for little potporri pots and I put a few drops onto a fabric softner sheet and then drop the sheet into a vent and then when the heat goes on it just smells wonderful.although this doesnt really get rid of the problem it does mask it nicely….also I have just put a few drops of the oil in basboard heaters if im not able to use the fabric sheet due to fire risk and it works great

My apologies for the double posting, but I didn’t think the first one took. I guess I’ll stick to racing cars,LOL.
And, Debbie thank you for the info. I didn’t know they made one for the House. This will make the perfect Christmas gift for my sister-in-law.

Jerry, the company you mentioned BiocideSystems.com has the same product for the House. It’s called Room Shocker. And yes, it’s pretty great stuff. I recently inherited a property that was occupied by a chain smoker. It works so well it even got the smell out of the furniture that was left behind and some shirts that were in the bedroom closet. What will they think of next?

I race cars for a living. We deal with gas spills and the odor they leave behind all the time. We were recently given a new product to test called Auto Vaccine from a company called biocide systems. It’s brand-new technology that will eliminate any severe odor, including gas and cigarette odors. I was amazed at how well it works. It’s really easy-to-use, eco-friendly, and not expensive.You just put it in the cup and let it sit in the car for a few hours. My brother-in-law is a chain smoker, and his favorite place to smoke is in his car. I put one of these auto vaccines in his car left overnight. I would never believed it if I did experience it myself. But it completely got rid of the odor. I even put my nose up to the headliner to see if I can get any kind of smell. But all I got was a little bit of a chlorinated smell, and that was even gone an hour later when I had my sister smell it. I’ve tried the vinegar solution and that works pretty well, but it’s only a temporary fix. If you want to permanently remove the odor I highly recommend this product. Especially to people or in the automotive business and auto detailing. I can see out would be a moneymaker.
