Getting rid of pesky odors

Seasonal house cleaning will give your home a fresh, clean smell, especially after we have been keeping all our doors and windows shut during the cold winter months. As soon as you started keeping the windows closed, your house started to take on a stale and musty odor, it only serves to make the home smell worse, if someone is always smoking inside. In fact, cigarette smoke can be the worst of all the odors in your home. You are only fooling yourself if you think the problem can be covered up with lighting candles, or spraying air fresheners. We want to offer some tips that you might find a little more effective at removing cigarette odors from your home.

Cigarette smoke in your carpets

• The smell of cigarette smoke can last for years in carpet and upholstery fibers.
• Smoke particles also discolor and cling to the walls, surfaces of appliances, and clothing.
• If you are a smoker, you probably are not even aware of the cigarette odors in your home. The best thing is to call one of your non-smoking friends in to give you a trusted opinion.
• When it comes to removing odors from carpets; sprinkle baking soda over the suspected areas, and let it sit for a couple hours.
• This will allow the baking soda to absorb the odor.
• Vacuum the treated carpets with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter. If this does not remove the odor, you will need to rent a carpet and upholstery cleaner.
