My husband and I are smoking, both. In the summer we do it in the yard, in the winter in the toilet. The fan installed there on the exhaust is partially saves from the stagnant Woni, but by the end of winter it still begins to strain. But some smoke right in the rooms where there is no hood, but there are furniture, carpets and other things absorbing smoke. How to get rid of the smell of tobacco in the apartment in this case? Or at the entrance to the purchased / removable smoked apartment?
There are many ways - from simple to radical. Many of them are tested personally and recognized as working. I repeat.
Get rid of stagnant odor
To decide how to remove the smell of cigarettes in the apartment, it makes sense only if you no longer smoke in it. Otherwise, it is a meaningless occupation and waste of power. If you convince the smokers to throw a bad habit of habit (and it is rare who succeeds), then you need to think about how to smoke tobacco smell.
You can, like us, do it in an isolated room with good ventilation. Or at least in the kitchen has an enabled exhaust power. She will not give the smoke to settle on all surfaces.
An open window option most often leads to the opposite result: the unpleasant odor with air flows is distributed throughout the room.
It is also necessary to further empty the ashtray, pouring out its contents not just in the trash can, and in a plastic bag, tightly tied it. Or in the closing lid capacity.
If you are resolutely configured to eliminate the smell of tobacco in the apartment, then keep in mind that it does not just hove in the air. Its more or lesser exhibit all the surfaces and objects. In the apartment "After someone", of course, make repairs. At least cosmetic, replacing all the coatings - paint, blotch, wallpaper.
Are not ready for such radical measures? Then without general cleaning could not do.
Stage 1 - Clean the solid surfaces
If the house smoke for a long time and regularly, then the floors, and the ceilings, and the other surfaces probably absorbed the smell.
They need to rinse. But not by ordinary water, here is the composition:
- Take three liters of hot water;
- Pour in her glass of vinegar;
- Patch Food Food Soda;
- Stir before dissolving soda.
With this solution and wipe all surfaces, including ceilings and walls. Even if they are not soaked (for example, temperatures and paper wallpapers), nothing terrible with them will not happen from a well-pressed soft cloth.
The smell of vinegar, of course, is also difficult to be called pleasant, but he quickly disappears.
Glass, plastic, metal and wooden surfaces can be cleaned with special, intended means for them.
Stage 2 - Clean textiles
The general cleaning does not end. Even stronger, smells absorb all sorts of soft surfaces: curtains, carpets, chairs and sofas, clothes and toys. We do it like this:
- Went . All that can be taken out on the street or on the balcony, you need to take out to mild the smell of cigarette smoke.
- Erase . All that is placed in a washing machine, after conducting you need to wash. Including children's soft toys.
- Fall asleep furniture and carpets dry soda . She absorbs smells well. It is advisable to leave the tool on the surface for a day or at least for the night.
- Vacuuming . Having absorbed the powder is easiest to remove with a vacuum cleaner. After that, it is advisable to repeat the entire procedure again.
- Clean furniture and carpets . To do this, you can use special household chemicals with enzymes as it requires instructions to the medium.
In the absence of shampoos and other facilities for cleaning furniture, all the same soda-acetic solution prepared with their own hands can help. But after its use, do not forget to dry everything well to prevent the appearance of mold.
Stage 3 - Clean air
Open nose windows best will help get rid of the smell of tobacco
But there are other means and ways to get rid of the smell of cigarettes in the apartment:
- Conditioning . The presence of air conditioning or humidifier with the cleaning function will greatly facilitate the task. Put fresh filters in the first, change the water more often and rearrange the second from place to place.
- Wet towels . Thick terry towels also absorb the smell of tobacco smoke, especially wet. To enhance the effect into water for their wetting, you can add vinegar or vanilla extract. Towels need to be twisted in all rooms and change as drying.
- Home remedies - absorbing odors . These include ground coffee, rice, sea salt, activated carbon. Any of these products must be poured into a flat saucer and place them in different places, periodically changing.
In a saucer with sea salt, you can additionally drop a few drops of aromatic oil so that the remnants of cigarette smoke will be faster. This is most suitable citrus (lemon, orange), coniferous (fir, pine) and lavender oil.
Express air refreshing measures
Situations in life are different. It may happen that you need urgently before the arrival of guests to destroy the smell of cigar, looked down by her husband. Or just have no time to do general cleaning, but breathing the jammed air - no strength.
Then you will have to use high-speed methods for neutralizing unpleasant flavors. They will not destroy them, but temporarily turn, and it will be easier for you to breathe. Of course, ventilating and wet towels will also help, but not so fast.
- Spray - air freshener . There are special means intended for the destruction of tobacco amber. If there is a smoker in the house, they should always have at hand.
- Aroma candles . It is enough to light them to stop feeling an unpleasant smell.
- Fresh zest . Cut the skirt with lemons or oranges, and spread it in the room.
- Cinnamon . It can be used in different ways. For example, just lowered sticks in a saucepan with water and cook about half an hour, not including hood. Or hold them wrapped in foil, in a hot oven with an open door.
You can use other substances with a pleasant aroma. But this is a temporary measure, as weathered the smell of cigarettes from the apartment completely, only washed it away from all surfaces.
