How to get rid of the smell of tobacco in the apartment - the most effective ways

Even smokers themselves do not toleratestagnant ambre of smoking, which spoils the mood and is capable of causing a strong migraine. Smoking is no longer fashionable, but a pernicious habit does not let go so easily, so the question of how to get rid of the smell of tobacco in the apartment still remains relevant for most people. Living in a smoke-filled room is unpleasant, but that's only half the problem. A few minutes in a similar atmosphere and a terrible scent begins to come from the hands, hair, clothes. After some time it is even useless to mask, a sharp specific smell breaks all fragrances. There is only one way out - an integrated approach to the situation that begins with the processing of an apartment.

In cases where the poison has not yet penetrated all around and only slightly reminds of itself, it can be eliminated by express means. Just first you need to conduct a simple test. Carefully wash my hands with baby soap( antibacterial will not work), we wait in the bathroom for a few minutes until its smell disappears. We go out into the room and quickly run our fingers along the walls, furniture, curtains, carpet. If after that on the surface of the hands there is no specific odor, you can proceed to the treatment room.

• Wet towels and sponges literally absorb acrid odor. Throughout the apartment we lay out saucers with wet sponges and hang out slightly wet terry towels.
• Textile is desirable to be washed or at least ventilated on the balcony.
• Floors are wiped with water with the addition of ammonia.
• On the saucer lay the laurel leaf and set it on fire. When smoke comes from him, we go through the rooms.

Such simple manipulations will help remove an unpleasant smell only if it does not absorb into the surrounding objects. Approximately a couple of hours after cleaning, air the premises and evaluate the result.

General cleaning as the first step to eliminate the smell of cigarettes in the apartment

In especially neglected cases, there are no other options how to get rid of the smell of cigarettes with a thorough and troublesome spring cleaning. Ideally, you need to carry out cosmetic repairs, implying the wallpapering, replacing the wooden frames or painting them with special paint, renewing the whitewash. If there is no time or energy for such a radical approach, and we need to remove the stale fragrance, we take the following actions:

1. Textile absorbs nicotine muck most intensively, but it is not necessary to replace products. It is better to wash them, put them in dry cleaners, hold them in the cold, knock them out through flavored cloth. Carpets and furniture are perfectly cleaned with a washing vacuum cleaner, in extreme cases, you have to clean everything manually. After all stages of processing, sofas and carpets must be vacuum cleaned.
2. It's better to put winter things in dry cleaners, to eliminate the smell from them independently and not to damage the thing is very difficult. It is recommended to arrange washing of all clothes. This can be done gradually, but then it will take some time to endure the unpleasant odor from the hands and hair. You also need to do with soft toys.
3. All surfaces in the room space that are resistant to moisture are processed without fail. For wet cleaning we take cool water with a small amount of vinegar. We must not forget about the walls. Paint, wooden panels and washable wallpaper can be processed intensively. Ordinary wallpaper should first be vacuumed, then wipe with a cotton cloth dampened in a weak aqueous solution of vinegar.
4. Books quickly absorb odors and keep them well, though they do not spread into the atmosphere. But if you do not want to constantly wash off the pungent smell from your hands, paper carriers will have to take out for at least a year on the balcony. You can build a special locker or store them in boxes.

Tip: During all of these manipulations, you need to use a variety of products with strong odors( shampoos, detergents, rinses, softeners, fresheners for tablecloths).After finishing the work, the smells themselves can be eroded, and they leave behind only an atmosphere of freshness and purity.

Techniques for scenting the room that will help to remove the tobacco smell

It happens that all the ways how to get rid of the smell of tobacco are used, the apartment shines with cleanliness, and the traitorous notes of the smell irritant still slip. To remove them finally have to connect additional weapons, operating trouble-free - pleasant aromas.

• Fresh coffee sprinkled on vases with a wide throat or kremankami, set around the perimeter of the rooms. The composition is updated every two weeks. To enhance the effect, you can drop a couple of drops of essential oil on the product without a sharp odor.
• On the washed lamps drip essential oil or your favorite perfume( do this at the moment when the lamps are off).After turning on the light, the lamp will begin to heat, spreading a pleasant aroma and quickly refreshing the room.
• Smokers should pay special attention to hand treatment. If you regularly lubricate your fingers with a greasy protective cream with a pronounced aroma, you can not worry that a pungent odor will be absorbed into the skin.
• A good result is provided by special devices. Some regularly release aromatic vapors into the atmosphere, others purify the air and fill with ozone. Many modern air conditioners "chase" the air, filtering it from everything superfluous. If desired, you can even purchase a car wash that simultaneously cleans and humidifies the atmosphere. This approach has only one drawback - for each room you need a separate device.
• Unpleasant smell in a small room( in the kitchen or balcony) can be removed with rice. It should be poured into a wide plate and put on the window. Then the product will have to be discarded, it will literally be impregnated with harmful vapors.

There are also unusual ways of filling the atmosphere in the room with pleasant aromas. You can cook several dishes of sweet baking. Products with cinnamon and vanilla literally soak up the air with mouth-watering vapors, they should still be infused before consumption.

"Ambulance" for those who want to quickly get rid of traces of tobacco smoke in the room

Recommendations how to get rid of the smell of cigarettes immediately after smoking:

• Open the window and ventilate the room for at least half an hour.
• Then, if there is an air conditioner or an air purifier, it must be turned on.
• We prepare a weak vinegar solution( a tablespoon of the composition per liter of water), moisten a fluffy terry towel in it, squeeze it carefully. Vigorously wipe the product in the air for several minutes. Then we update the liquid, remove excess moisture and hang the towel right in the room where we smoked.

If nobody smokes in the apartment, and tobacco smoke goes to the room from the corridor, then the doors are recommended to be sealed with a sealant. The old product will have to be replaced. Metal doors in the vestibule can be rubberized around the perimeter, this will not only neutralize the source of the smell, but also remove unnecessary noise.
