Removing the cigarette odors from a home where smoking was allowed is a process. The first cleaning tip for removing the odor completely is to start with all your fabrics and washable items. You will want to complete this step and immediately move on to tips #2 and #3 or the lingering smell from the soot on walls, non-washable areas and furniture will penetrate the fabrics again and you will have to start all over. Tip: wash all machine-washable fabrics including bedding, curtains, pillows and even clothing and add 1-2 cups of white vinegar to the wash. Do not replace in the home until steps #2 and #3 are complete.
