Office chair smells of cigarettes?

Question

I have a plastic office chair that came from a smoker and has an ingained stale cigarette smell. Whats the best way to get rid of this smell ?

Answer 1

If the smell is stuck in the upholstery, sprinkle with baking soda and let it sit overnight. In the morning you can vacuum the baking soda and the odor out of the furniture.

Simple and easy and REALLY works.

Answer 2

Fabreeze, I had a friend who's Mom was a 2 pack a day smoker, I had no idea, she always smelled soooo good.

She said she went through a bottle a week. The trick it that it has to saturate the item, so do it at the end of the day. Or maybe even a friday.

Answer 3

SIMPLE GREEN CLEANING SOLUTION. This solution works wonders. Will cost you about $10.00 per gallon. It is an industrial cleaner and I use it for everything. Take the chair outside and totally drench it with the solution. Let it dry and you're in business.

Answer 4

Hmmm. Try wiping the plastic with white vinegar, and then rinsing with water.

If this doesn't remove the smell, it may have permeated the stuffing, in which case there isn't much you can do.

Answer 5

Drown it with oust spray. Let it sit outside to dry then spray it again and wipe it off. I did this once and it worked. You might have to repeat this process more than once.

Answer 6

Burn it.
