Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Removing cigarette smoke smell

I had a friend in Florida that was a chainsmoker 4 or more packs a day. I guess that was a result of being a Miami PO for 20 years. He died from lung cancer in his 50's. His widow did not smoke but probably suffered from second hand smoke. Everytime I visited himupon returning home I smelled like an ashtray and had to take a shower and get the clothes I was wearing washed.

Every single AC intake and vent was almost brown and that contrasted nicely with the white ceiling paint and walls. She removed all the carpeting and drapes, replaced or deep cleaned the vents and pickups, had a professional home cleaner come in and wipe down all appliances and cabinets and then the home was painted, pretty sure the mattresses were replaced as well. There was very little if any evidence of a smoker having lived there.
