Get The Smoke Out???

you can also see if you can rent an ozone machine. My parents use to use it when they had a dry cleaners and hotels use it when someone smokes in a non smoking room.
I dont know who would rent them but I am sure someone does. maybe look up online

Cigarette smoke permeates everything, upholstery, curtains, carpets. It even leaves a film on the walls. You will have to do a lot of cleaning to get rid of the smell. I would hire someone to come in and clean all the carpets and upholstered furniture. Then the rest will be up to you.
When I was young I worked for a man who owned a lot of apartments. I would go in and clean after people moved out. No matter how clean people were, if they smoked in the apartment, it was a major cleaning job.
Congratulations to you all for quitting! It was the best thing you could have done for yourselves!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :-D

Congratulations to the 3 of you. I quit 13 years ago. First thing I did was to wash anything that would fit in the washing machine. I washed all the walls, carpets, etc.
If you have to hire someone, you really won't be out the money because of what you're saving on not buying cigaretts.
Another added benefit - look at all the money you can spend on fabric! good luck.

Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did! My roommate smokes, and I use a commercial spray that is used after fire cleanups. It is called ZEP Professional Smoke and Odor Neutralizer, which "chemically neutralizes the source of Malodors"
No website listed, but the ZEP, Inc. address is in Atlanta, GA
It works like a charm.

If you have a Sam's club card (they don't carry it at Wal-mart) there is a product called 'Odo-Ban' It comes in a gallon jug and frequently has an added spray bottle full with it. You can use this on anything! I put it in wash, use it in cleaning bucket, spray on furniture, and deodorizer spray. It is amazing what smells it takes out. It also is a disinfectant. It is around 10 bucks a gallon, but you only use a small amount.
Good luck and congratulations!
