Techniques that allow quickly and qualitatively remove the smell of smoke in the apartment, there are many - from proper ventilation and quality cleaning to the use of flavors. That's only the desired result they give only if the notes of an unpleasant odor are suspended in the air.
In cases where cigarette fumes have literally absorbed into the walls, ceilings and upholstery of furniture, the above manipulations will no longer help, will at least need cosmetic repairs. To prevent this, the smoker should be better "thrown out" on the balcony, staircase or street. In case of emergency, one of the most effective approaches should be used to quickly remove the smell of tobacco smoke( for example, after visiting guests).
Proper cleaning, as a method of combating odor
In cases where smoking in an apartment is an exception to the rules rather than a regularity, it is possible to cope with the problem with the help of a quality cleaning. Only hold it regularly, every time after an unpleasant note hangs in the air. Act quickly, until the molecules that carry the smell of tobacco smoke, absorbed into the surrounding objects.
- Application of vinegar. We dilute a glass of apple cider vinegar with a glass of filtered water. With the resulting solution, the odor residue can be "removed" from hard surfaces and even rubs the wallpaper. The main thing is to carefully wring out the rag so that moisture does not get absorbed into the paper surface.
Advice: Do not expect that the transition from conventional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes will solve an unpleasant problem. The "fragrance" from such devices only seems pleasant, after he has entered into the upholstery of furniture, his notes will begin to change. After a while, a sharp and unpleasant smell will start to seem unbearable.
- Chemical mixture. In 3 liters of water we dilute half a glass of ammonia, 4 tablespoons of baking soda and a quarter of a glass of table( or apple) vinegar. The received means mine all wooden, stone, plastic and other solid surfaces. If they are left with a divorce, we perform the manipulation again and so until the ideal purity is obtained. If the solution gets very dirty, change it to a new one.
- Shampoo. Carpets, carpets and upholstered furniture are best washed with a composition made from shampoo, diluted with water and a small amount of baking soda( 3 liters of water, 3 tablespoons of shampoo and a tablespoon of soda).The main thing is to thoroughly mix the solution, but do not whisk it into the foam. All the treated surfaces must then be wiped clean with a damp cloth or sponge, dried, so that no moisture remains in the fibers.
- Soda. Perfectly copes with the unpleasant odor emanating from the flooring. Simply sprinkle the problem areas of the laminate, parquet or carpet with a thin layer of the product, leave it for 10 minutes and collect with a vacuum cleaner. It is necessary to repeat the manipulation at least three times with a break of 3 hours.
- Chlorine. To get rid of tobacco smoke, firmly sits in pillows, soft toys and other textile elements, you need to soak them for half an hour in a solution of all known "whiteness" and rinse it in a weak soda. Of course, this can only be done with products that are not afraid of whitening.
- Soap shavings. Universal composition of grated soap, mixed with baking soda, is used for surface treatment, upholstered furniture, soaking of textiles. It should not be used only when working with delicate materials, which are too sensitive to alkali.
All these manipulations must be carried out in a ventilated room. Only in this case the result will be instantaneous, without residual effects.
Application of natural and industrial flavors
Acting in this direction, you can use products that disguise unpleasant odors or completely absorb them. The choice of the optimal remedy depends on the severity of the problem and the availability of the right ingredients:
- Natural Products. Citrus peel and coffee beans are the leaders among fighters with the smell of tobacco smoke. They not only spread their own flavors, but also gradually absorb unpleasant notes. Only need to change them often enough - every 8-12 hours.
- Essential Oils. The most famous means of masking the problem. We drip a few drops on the crystals of sea salt and place it in different zones of the room. To change them it is necessary in process of disappearance of a pleasant smell.
- Perfume. If you drop a drop of your favorite perfume on a cold light bulb and then light it, a pleasant smell will slowly spread around the room, driving out all unnecessary. True, this is also just a disguise.
- Fig. Although it does not smell, it perfectly absorbs molecules, which are the cause of an unpleasant smell in the room. The cereal can simply be poured into a bowl and placed in the smoking zone, changing every 2-3 days.
Of course, the situation will be repeated as the tobacco smoke accumulates in the room. And after a while it will seem that the tools used do not help or require too much time for implementation. Therefore, first you need to get rid of the source of the problem and only then proceed to clean the apartment of its tracks.
