There are a few effective ways to get rid of the smell of cigarettes in your home. Start by ventilating properly by opening windows and doors. Thoroughly clean surfaces, furniture and carpets using a mixture of vinegar and water, or use special cleaning products that neutralise any odours. Wash all washable fabrics, such as curtains and pillowcases, using an odour remover. Place bowls of clear vinegar, coffee beans or baking powder in the room to absorb smells. Regular vacuuming and using air purifiers with carbon filters can also help eliminate the smell of cigarettes.
