How to get rid of smoke smell in an apartment: tips for smokers

Nowadays, some people still prefer to smoke at home. Sometimes you just don't want to go outside, and sometimes the weather is too bad to smoke outside.

It may be convenient, but later you will have to think about how to get rid of the unpleasant odor. My Home Book has prepared some tips on how to freshen up your apartment.

Clean the ashtray immediately

Used cigarettes should not be left in the ashtray for a long time, because even if they have stopped smoldering, they still give off a typical odor.

Ventilate the room

This tip is obvious, but it is rarely used. There is no need to open all the windows for several hours after each smoke. All you need to do is let in fresh air and let the smoke escape.

Coffee beans

Some natural materials absorb odors and help freshen the air. Just place a bowl of ground coffee near the ashtray where you smoke.

Water and vinegar

Vinegar, just like coffee, absorbs odors well. You can put a bowl of vinegar and water near the smoking area or spray the liquid in the rooms where you smell smoke.

Lemon

If you don't have coffee or vinegar at home, you can use lemons instead. Cut the fruit into rough slices and then pour boiling water over them. The lemon steam will neutralize the smell of smoke in the apartment.

Wash fabric products

The odor lingers very well in fabrics such as upholstery, carpets or curtains, etc. They should be washed regularly if they are in places where people smoke.
