Smoke smells linger and can be difficult to remove, here are some ways to remove the smoke smell from clothes, carpets, and other household items.
If you have a smoky smell in your home, the best thing to do is open the windows and doors for a few hours. If it’s not possible to open up all of your windows and doors, then you should use a fan to circulate fresh air through your home.
When it comes to furniture the first step is to find the source of the smoke smell. If it’s coming from inside a couch cushion, then you need to take out the stuffing and wash it off with water. If it’s coming from the fabric covering, then you can use an enzyme cleaner or vinegar to remove the odor.
If there is no source of smoke in your furniture, then you should vacuum or steam clean it. You can also use products like Febreeze or Lysol to get rid of any lingering odors.
The trick to removing smoke odor from clothes is washing them as soon as possible with detergent that contains enzymes or bacteria that are designed for removing odors. The next step is drying the clothing in sunlight if possible or by using an electric dryer on the highest heat setting.
