Its an air sanitizer and fresher so it kills the bacteria that is making the smell and freshens the air all at the same time
Quit Smoking, Meditation and Yoga will help you in doing so.
scent candles.
Febreze.
First thing, don't smoke in the house if you hate the smell. Cigarette smoke permeates the entire house, so cleaning it with an ammonia based cleaner is a start. I like Mr. Clean & Top Job, & both work well on eliminating most of the smoke smell. Open windows while cleaning as well. Use Febreeze to spray in your home from time to time, to freshen it up. They also sell a Febreeze that says"fabric" on the can & is great for furniture, closets, etc.
most of the lingering smell will be in fabrics...try febreeze (you can also buy the kind that freshens the air too)...also, burning vanilla candles will help neutralize the smell and make your house smell yummy!
They have enzyme cleaners at home improvement stores to use with your carpet cleaners. They will get the smell out of your carpet and couch and drapes, where most of the smoke accumulates. You can also add fabric softener with water with a carpet cleaner with attachments and get the smell out.
Enzyme cleaner is better.
For walls, use a diluted vinegar and water solution mixed with some drops of peppermint oil or lavender oil. Cleans and gets the smell out.
They have candles that can mask the smell go away but it is only temporary.
For closet, you might want to use Fabreeze on everything.
Takes less time than washing.
Fabreze every fabric item that you can't throw in the washer. Wash drapes (if washable), throw blankets, and bedspreads. Put throw pillows in dryer on tumble with a fabric softner sheet. Wash your walls with mild soapy water, rinse well. Leave small shallow containers of vineger out in all of your smokey rooms overnight. It will smell like vinegar, but as soon as you dump it down the sink in the morning, it will go away. Open your windows and light some fragrant candles. Just remember how much work it is to get rid of the smell, so don't smoke in the house again if it bothers you that much.
Spray some Febreeze on the fabric because that is where the smoke sticks to. If you can open some windows. Vaccumm and light a candle.
When my house stinks I mix water & pinesol in the sinks & let it sit all day.
If you are going to keep smoking in the house, just clean the drapes and curtians, spray the furniture with frbreeze, and shampoo the carpet, on a regular basis. Open the window when you smoke, and turn on a fan. Invest in a smokless ashtray. If you are now going to only smoke outside, do all of the above, but repaint the walls, and steam clean the upholstery.
Everything needs to be cleaned or you will never get rid of the smell and I mean everything... walls floors carpets furniture etc everything..... and then quit smoking.. its not good for you and it sure would save on the cleaning...
