How do you get bad cigarette smell from a car I just bought?

Question

From seats, carpet , and overhead

Answer 1

smoke a cigar in it
frabreeze
leave a handfull of fabric softeners and a box of arm and hammer baking soda in it with the widows closed in the sun.

Answer 2

First I would wash out the inside to the best of my ability - especially the ashtrays. If the seats are leather - use a good leather cleaner.

Second, I'd spray the car out with Neutra Air by Lysol

Third, I'd go to the house of my neighbor, the mechanic -- and ask him to spray some of that secret car dealership spray through the air conditioner - and while he is there - make sure he replaces all the air filters.

Fourth - I'd drive around for the next few days with the windows down to air out the car.

Five - I'd start the process over again if it didn't take the first time...

Answer 3

An essential oil called Lavender. Put this in a spray bottle with water and instantly you will have no bad cigarette smell.

Answer 4

I would try to find a reasonable way to cleaning the fabric surfaces because, they suck up the most foreign bodies.

The air system is also going to be smelling of smoke, and I don't know how to fix that. Maybe there's something you can clean or replace in the air system.

Answer 5

Windex. Seriously, wash the windows, dash, anything vinyl. Spray the seats, floors, mats lightly with Windex.

Answer 6

Spray it with Febreeze. A box of kitty litter on the floor in the back will absorb odors, too.

Answer 7

Shampoo the carpeting. Then get a deodorizer.

Answer 8

Take it to someone have the inside detailed... they'll shampoo the heck out of it and scrub all the little nooks and crannies.

Answer 9

put dryer sheets under your seats and in little pockets you might have in your car...they soak the smoke up

Answer 10

Smoke a joint in it.
