Cigarette smoke adheres to practically all objects in the house, deteriorating its color, its duration and also leaving a characteristic smell, hated even by many smokers.
When you have the habit of smoking indoors, it is very difficult to identify the source, as the odor is impregnated in almost everything: curtains, sofas, mattresses, clothes, rugs, etc. So getting rid of the cigarette smell can be quite complicated.
Preventing the smell of cigarettes at home
The best thing you can do to make your home smell nice for both you and your guests is to stop smoking indoors.
If you have a patio, balcony, balcony, or terrace, always try to smoke in these places so that the smell is not concentrated. Open the windows and let it ventilate. We recommend that you choose a specific place in the house for this, this way the smell accumulates only in this space, making cleaning easier in the future.
But where does cigarette odor accumulate?
1. Fabrics: the first thing you should know is that fabrics are the parts most susceptible to the smell of cigarettes, so we recommend cleaning all upholstery, such as sofas and mattresses. In addition to the curtains and rugs too.
2. Windows: if you look closely, the windows of smokers’ houses have a layer between gray and yellow that is formed with the accumulated smoke. So be sure to clean the windows and glass well so that they regain their transparency.
3. If your walls are white it is likely that cigarette smoke has also turned them and they are now yellowed. When cleaning the walls, it is important to identify the products that are used to clean them without damaging them. And if the walls have tiles, don’t forget to pay special attention to the grout as this is the perfect space for the accumulation of dirt caused by cigarette smoke.
These are some tips on the places that normally accumulate the most cigarette smell in the house. But if the smell has persisted for years, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to eliminate the smell more effectively.
