I just use Orvus and put it through the gentle cycle. Then dry. Unless you have an allergy, that is more than enough. If you have serious smoke allergies, then you want to use a regular washing cycle with extra water (no tight packing in the washing machine).

That said, when I received a huge lot of fabric once and decided to donate it to a bunch of elderly ladies to cut up into rugs, I went to the laundromat. Went during the day during a dead time. Those industrial machines take a LOT of fabric and you can dry pretty quickly in the large dryers. Use the shortest cycle on the washer.
