What is the best way to keep cigarette smell out

How to Get Rid of Cigarette Odor at Home

Few smells are harder to remove than cigarette smoke.

It sticks to furniture, walls, and fabrics long after the smoke clears.

Whether you’re cleaning up after past smokers or trying to protect your space, there are proven solutions.

Ventilate and Clean Thoroughly

“Ventilation is your first line of defense.” Open windows, use fans, and wipe down surfaces with mild soap or vinegar.

For wood, use safe cleaners to avoid damage.

Use Natural Odor Fighters

Baking soda, vinegar spray, activated charcoal, and even coffee grounds help absorb or mask smoke smells.

“Baking soda is a natural odor absorber” and works especially well on fabric and carpet.

Go Deeper When Needed

For embedded smells, steam clean rugs, curtains, or hire professionals for severe cases. “Professionals use ozone treatments” to remove deeply rooted odors.

The Bottom Line

Preventing smoke indoors is key. Until then, these steps can restore a fresher, healthier home.
