Remove Cigarette Smells From The Vehicle

If you smoke, you're not likely to notice the cigarette odors in your car, but if you're a non-smoker and inherited a car from "two-packs-a-day" Aunt Ginny, the smell might drive you crazy. Here's remove it.


Instructions


1. Shampoo the car's interior, including carpets, upholstery and floor mats with an odor eliminating shampoo, available at hardware or home improvement stores.


2. Clean all washable interior surfaces with the same shampoo. Put a small amount directly on a damp sponge, work in and wipe down.


3. Clean all the windows inside with a glass cleaner. Repeat if necessary.


4. Sprinkle baking soda on dry carpet, working it in with your hands. Wait a week and then vacuum.


5. Clean leather upholstery with a commercial leather cleaner/deodorizer, available at your dealership or at home improvement stores.


6. Vacuum ashtrays to remove residual ash. Place a small amount of baking soda or kitty litter into the ashtrays to absorb odors.
