Household Hints: Cheap and Effective Methods to Remove the Smell of Cigarette Smoke

Many nonsmokers complain of the smell of cigarette smoke in places such as homes and businesses. As a smoker, I am more than aware of the unpleasant odor left behind when a smoker extinguishes his or her cigarette in an ashtray. As a smoker, I have tried many of the methods which I will discuss in this article. Here are some resourceful methods which I have used, or seen used at one time or another, to remove the smell of cigarettes from my home

The most common method that I use to remove the smell of cigarette smoke from my home is cologne. Every year for Christmas and for my Birthday, I get at least one bottle of cologne whose scent doesn't fit me well. These bottles of cologne are excellent for removing the lingering smell of cigarette smoke from your home. Even if the scent of the cologne isn't one you would wear on your body, it is excellent for absorbing the odor of cigarettes from the rooms in your house. Spray the cologne towards the center of the room. If you have an air conditioning vent or ceiling fan in your room, spray the cologne a few times in the direction the fan is turning or in the direction the air is flowing from the air conditioning vent. Be sure that you spray just enough cologne so that the room has a slight hint of the scent of the cologne. For best results, you should use this treatment at least once a day, and in each room which you smoke, to remove the smell of cigarette smoke from your home.

Another method that I have used over the years to remove cigarette smoke odors from my home is spray deodorant. Many spray deodorants, such as Right Guard, contain zinc and other odor inhibitors. To use spray deodorant to remove cigarette smoke odors from your home, spray them just as you would if you were using cologne as mentioned above. Baby Powder scented deodorant works really well because talcum, often found in baby powder deodorants, is a natural odor absorbent substance. For best results, you should use this method at least once each day, in each room which you smoke, to remove the smell of cigarette smoke from your home

Another method that I have seen people use to remove cigarette smoke odors from their rooms is to install a box fan facing backwards in a window. Be sure that the boxed fan covers the entire area of the window so that you won't loose any cooling from your air conditioner. You can use duct tape to seal in the area if necessary. Run the box fan on high for the best results. When you use this method properly, it can actually help you save money when running your air conditioner by filtering humid air from your house.

I have used, or seen these methods used, for years to remove the smell of cigarette smoke from various rooms in my house. These methods have worked really well for me. I hope that one or more of these methods will be useful for you to remove the smell of cigarette smoke from your home.
