Answer 3

first things first, remove the cigarette smoking. it's a tough thing to get rid of. you don't only smell the smoke, but you smell the ashes from the ash tray, and you smell the tar that sticks to your walls and seeps into carpet and clothing. opening the windows is only the first step. you really have to scrub the walls, vacuum the floors, and put fabreeze on the carpets and couches.
Next you have to add a smell that smells totally different than smoke to help cover up what you can't get rid of. Cook some stuff that smells up the whole house like a big thing of maple flavored bacon, and leave one in the pan to burn too. for the next few days the house will smell like bacon and not the smoke. Don't use stuff like insense or candle's cause that's obvious that you're trying to cover up a smell. Everyone likes bacon, so if it smells like bacon, nothing is suspicious

Answer 4

Shampoo the carpets, wash all surfaces, change the filters in the heating/cooling systems. Cigarette smoke leaves deposits on every surface with which it makes contact. It will eventually lose its odor, but to get rid of it quickly, all possible surfaces have to be either cleaned or replaced.

If this is a rental unit and there was a smoking prohibition in the lease, you should charge a very hefty cleaning fee to be retained before returning the deposit.

Answer 5

I've had to deal with that.

Use vinegar to wash the glass, and be prepared to wash at least twice before you stop getting tar.

Use a sudsy solution of Lysol to wash the appliances, counters, and walls.

Use a STRONG solution of bleach to clean the bathroom.

Shampoo or replace the carpet.

If you can, paint the house with some kind of sealant such as Kilz, then prime and repaint it.

And open the windows to let the place air out.

Good luck.
