can you get the smell of cigarette smoke out of pine?

Question

just been given a pine dining table from a smoker and i can smell smoke on it anu suggestion on how to mask the smell

Answer 1

I have an Antique Flame Mahogany dining room set that absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke when I got it. My local antiques dealer told me to clean it carefully then, spray it with Febreze, including inside drawers, back of the buffet, inside and back of hutch, underside of the table and legs etc. let dry and repeat. Worked great and there was no damage to the set...just be careful not to drown it. Getting wood to wet, will cause damage. A light spraying 2 or 3 times is better.

Answer 2

I can't think of anything that would do the trick without ruining the finish on the table. My husband's mother smoked like a turned over train, and when we got married, I made him throw everything out except his computer. He had to detail it, and it still stunk. ICK. She was living with him, and his house reaked of smoke, my eyes burned all the time, and she always wanted the windows shut. The walls throughout the house were YELLOW from the smoke. There is no way of getting that stinch out of furniture. If it's too strong, then I would sell it, and get yourself a brand new one. Someone gave me something and they were smokers, and I had to tell them 'no thank you', and I told them why too.
If you absolutely want to keep the table, then I suggest cleaning it with pledge, and hopefully the smell won't be so bad after a few coats of polish. You know...that table will make your house smell too. Well, just in that area. Can you imagine eating off that table and smelling the smoke? Have I convinced you to get rid of it yet? LOL Sorry. I just can't stand smoke. Good luck.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Answer 4

First off, give it a good wash down with a damp cloth and warm water in which you have disolved a little washing up liquid.

If you can get it outside for a few hours, so much the better.
