In order to completely eliminate cigarette smoke odor, you must thoroughly clean the tobacco smoke residue from every surface and every nook and cranny in the home.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How To Completely Eliminate Cigarette Smoke Odor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">First, allow fresh air to enter your home and then start systematically cleaning everything in the home. As a temporary solution, try using baking soda to absorb smells from the carpets and upholstery and place bowls of white vinegar, coffee or activated charcoal around the house.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>However,<\/strong> <strong>the best way to get rid of tobacco odor is to clean your home:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Open all windows and doors to let as much fresh air in as possible.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Clean or replace the air filters, furnace filters and AC filters.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Clean walls and ceilings using products with ammonia and glycol &#8211; two ingredients that neutralize bad odors. Let the walls dry and check if the odor persists.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">If you can still sense cigarette odor after cleaning, repaint the walls and ceilings with latex paint. Use a sealant designed to lock in odors before painting.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Clean everything in the home: floors, windows, carpets, furniture, upholstery, draperies, blinds and other household surfaces, fixtures and items. Hire a professional cleaning company if the tobacco smoke is too difficult to remove.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>If you want inexpensive short-term solutions, try these tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Use an air purifier in your home.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Sprinkle baking soda on the carpets, leave it overnight to absorb bad smells, and vacuum it the next day.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Place saucers of white vinegar around the home and leave them overnight to neutralize the smell.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Get indoor plants which can absorb up to 87% of indoor <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pollutant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pollutants<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Place small bowls of coffee throughout the home.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Use scented or non-scented candles.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Leave orange peels around the home.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Place pineapple slices around the room with all doors and windows closed for 24 hours.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Place bowls of activated charcoal around the home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Completely removing cigarette smoke odor from a home is a very time consuming process.
