I see. I'm glad I don't have that problem anymore. I quit almost 20 years ago. I can't stand the smell, now.

Me too Kaz . I quit some 30 years ago. The smell alone was worth it.

The Home Depot in my area sells stuff called "Odoban", it works really well to get odors out, but read the label about use. You would probably not have to use but a capful in a full washing machine load. Hope this helps.

You cant go past Febreeze.
I used it on my curtains when I was a smoker,
worked well for me.

I received some fabric stash from a smoker and thought all was lost after I washed it and still smelled smoke...BUT then I remembered some advice from my mom and washed it again with vinegar (I used about 2 cups) in the wash cycle and rinsed twice....smoke smell gone!!!

I bought a French co louis vuitton speedy only made in US upto the 80's and it stank of smoke, not being able to wash I stuffed it with glycerine nice smelling soap--------it did the trick ,have tried this on quilts too,wrap the soap in them and leave in airy room and it worked.

My grandmother always kept a new bar of lavender soap in her armoire and the drawers of her dresser.
