Ozone Generator
Many people have mentioned ozone generator. Ozone generator have been used by professional restoration companies for years. Fire departments used to have them many years ago in the area I was from that used to leave in homes to get the smell of a fire out of a building. I have worked in homes that were were previously in a fire and only noticed the charred joists or studs. Ozone generators were used to get the smell out. If you google getting smoke out of cars you will see information about cleaning everything but again it will be mentioned to use a ozone generator.
Be careful! Ozone is good in the upper atmosphere but not safe for us above certain levels. Read instructions or use professionals. |

An ozone generator will do the job. Put enough ozone generators in the house to cover the square footage of the house, based on the capacity of the generators. Turn on the ozonators, close up the house, and vacate the premises for 3 days to let them do the job. After three days, you will need to open up the house to dissipate the ozone before breathing it substantially. This method worked for a smoke laden house I bought a few years back. (They covered up the smoke smell with the smell of freshly baked cookies when showing the house.) No other cleaning or painting was needed. I have used an ozone generator to remove house odors since then.

This is the correct answer. Call a company specializing in odor removal. It will work. Cleaning yourself is tedious and does not guarantee results.

Put vinegar and a sponge in multiple bowls around the house leave them for a Few days and it will remove the smell. This is the same technique they use to remove the smell of death,it works! I have personally used this method for cigarette smoke.

You need to repaint and use kilz first. Then shampoo carpets. Its everywhere. We had a condo the lady was a smoker and we tore everything out. Contractors are not suppose to smoke on jobs

Vacating for 3 days is not necessary with some programs.

Very quite. There are different settings from: Zap the area (which is leave for 90 minutes, plants are fine) to lower settings that can run around the clock and you can stay in the house. Research more.

We have used salt lamps purchased at the Salt store off Fennel on 441/27. They seemed to work.

I agree about an Ozonator. I was in sales in my former life and traveled and stayed in motels and hotels. One time in particular I was given a hotel room that reeked of cigar smoke. When I complained that I always requested a non-smoking room, I was told to give them a couple of hours and have dinner on them. When I arrived back and entered my room it was perfect. It actually smelled like it does after a thunder storm with no trace of cigar smoke. They had used an ozonator.

Smoke Smell
If you are looking for a professional to remove the smoke smell from your home, I would call my insurance company. They will have names of companies that they use after a fire to remove smoke smell.

I use aromatherapy diffusers and have had good luck with them. They are not expensive and worth a shot.

Smoke smell

And the onions will be black. Repeat 4 or 5 times as needed. My smoke smell was in a car (more confined) so you may need to move to rooms where it it worst. |
