Tips to remove tobacco odour from your home

The smell of tobacco can quickly permeate enclosed spaces and can be unpleasant for non-smokers. Fortunately, there are several effective methods to eliminate this smell and freshen up your home. In this blog, we are going to share some useful tips to remove tobacco odour from a room, walls and other corners of your home.

Removing smell of tobacco from a room is possible by following some practical tips. Here are our recommendations:

Ventilation is key to getting rid of tobacco odour in your home. Open all windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate and, if possible, place fans strategically to help renew the air.

It is important to do a thorough cleaning of your home to remove any tobacco smoke residue. Wash curtains, sofa covers and any other fabrics that may have absorbed the smell. Vacuum carpets, upholstered furniture and the rest of the house.

Place containers of white vinegar in different areas of your home, especially where smoking is most common. Leave them overnight to absorb the smell of tobacco.

Another product that can be effective in eliminating tobacco odour at home is coffee. You can place cups or containers with coffee grounds in different areas of your home, especially in areas where smoking is most common. Let the coffee absorb the smell for several hours and then ventilate the house well.

Baking soda is another effective natural deodoriser. Sprinkle baking soda on carpets, upholstered furniture and other porous surfaces, leave it on for several hours and then vacuum. This will help absorb tobacco odour.

Tobacco odour permeating walls may come as a surprise to many, but it is a fact of life that it also clings to surfaces, including walls. Fortunately, there are ways to clean and remove tobacco odour from walls and this is one of the most effective:

In addition to leaving vinegar in containers in different areas of the house, it is also an option to clean furniture and walls with a mixture of vinegar and water. Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a container. Gently rub the walls affected by the tobacco smell and let the vinegar work for about 30 minutes.

It is recommended that you test a small inconspicuous area of the wall before applying the vinegar to the entire surface to make sure there is no damage to the paint or wall covering.
