Just bought a car on the internet, and found it was a smoker's car on delivery. How do I get rid of the smell?

Question

It's a 2005 Infiniti Q45 with only 5000 miles. It has leather seats. I specifically told the seller online that I don't want a smoker's car, but guess they can't smell the carcinogent left in the material. It's not as bad as some rental cars, but still very detectible.

Answer 2

To rid the car of smoker's remnant you must invest a little time. Take the seats out to let them get some air. However, you must be careful not to let them sit in the sun. Spray the ceiling with good ol' formula 409. Do the same with the carpeting. ( If problem persists, new carpeting is called for.) Lots of luck

I think the best way to get rid of tobacco smoke is to clean the headliner of the car. It may already look clean, but I use some stuff called "awning cleaner" from ACE hardware. It will not change the color of the headliner, but will clean it very well. Then use some stuff called "FDS" (feminine deodorant spray) It will be strong at first but after setting for an hour, your car will be fine.

Put fabric softener sheets under the seats. Just remember, it will last for a bit, so you'll need to replace them frequently. But, it's a pretty cheap solution!

Also, febreeze the carpeting on the floor regularly.
