how do you rid cigarette smell in your house, I've been wiping walls and ceilings for days?



Answers:
that smell is everywhere. You need to paint, get rid of carpet, sometimes it can even absorb into the walls....paint, remodel, burn (im just kidding)

Other answers:
An ozone machine.
An ozone machine.
are u still smoking lol
fabric cleaner or febreeze
Try incense...I use that after my mother visits.
Try an air filtration machine. Helps me.
try febreze, and clean the carpets and drapes.
don't ever smoke in the house
I would set out dishes of baking soda and then don't let people smoke in your house.
Wiping is not going to do it. Get to painting and replacing carpet, that is the only way.
LYSOL
it's prolly in the carpet, carpet pad, floor boards. <3
pine-sol, wash your curtains and drapes and shampoo your carpets. Also stop smoking in your house!
air out your house and spray febreeze everywhere or you can burn incence. you can also wipe everything with water mixed with lemon juice (50:50) and that will take care of the smell
An air cleaner? Lysol? Fry some chicken?
Try a dilute solution of Clorox ( with chlorine in it. ) Nicotine is a resin of sorts. Any cleanser that will dissolve a resin will do it as well.
Febreeze everything. Wash everything. Stop letting people smoke in the house. Steam clean the carpeting. . Throw out the vaccuum cleaner bags. Clean the draperies if there are any.
Ozium is the best for getting smells out of your home..fairly cheap. You also have to wash your drapes and curtains and all of your clothes,bedding etc or the smell will linger
i found vinegar and water works best.also spray the rooms with febreeze.
Paint entire house, get furniture cleaned, get carpets cleaned or replaced. Cigs smell and stick around forever!
You have some good answers here for that problem, but some are rather costly like replacing carpet etc. What have you wiped your walls and ceilings with? Have you ever tried Murphy's Oil Soap? That is good for walls and ceilings and leaves a pleasant odor. My girl friend used to work for a buisness that dealt with smokey areas as you have. She said in order to rid the home from the smell of smoke. A) Stop smoking or stop having other people smoke in your home and B) Use Murphy's Oil Soap with 1/2 cup of lemon extract with your water. That will make your home smell a lot better. Good luck to you! Hope this works out for you!
vinegar does a good job
Mix some pine sol and water in small bowls and leave it setting around in the house. It really works.
We just moved into the same situation. Just fill your bathtub up with OxyClean and hot water. Take a sponge mop and just start scrubbing the walls (don't forget the ceilings). After all that, go buy some Kilz from the local hardware store and paint it all over the walls. It's white so your landlord won't care. Kilz will cover anything, including smells!
Wash the walls down with scented pinesol, spray your carpet with a product called out, it can be purchased in the pet section of most stores, it is made for pet urine odors, wash all curtains and anything made of fabric. Purchase some liquid potpourri and use it in a simmering potpourri pot. I actually use the liquid potpourri in a glass with a thick bottom on it and set it on one of the little electric candle warmer deals that you can purchase at Walmart also get the liquid potpourri there too.
Not sure if the curtains smell...if so wash them too. Try these on the link below.
