Tobacco smoke leaves behind a potent residue that seeps into walls, fabrics, and furniture. To effectively remove these deeply ingrained odors, a comprehensive approach is required:
#### Vent and Air Out the House
- Open windows and doors to create cross-ventilation.
- Use fans to circulate air and dispel lingering smoke particles.
#### Clean All Surfaces
- Dust and vacuum thoroughly, paying attention to surfaces that collect smoke residue, such as walls, ceilings, and furniture.
- Wipe down all surfaces with a cleaning solution specifically designed for smoke removal.
#### Treat Fabrics and Upholstery
- Launder curtains, bedding, and removable upholstery using hot water and a deodorizing detergent.
- For non-washable fabrics, use a fabric refresher or an enzymatic cleaner to eliminate smoke odors.
#### Deodorize Carpets and Rugs
- Sprinkle baking soda or carpet deodorizer over carpets and let it sit for several hours.
- Vacuum thoroughly to remove the powder and any remaining odor.
#### Consider Ozone Treatment
- Ozone generators can effectively oxidize smoke particles and neutralize odors.
