cig smell removal how

Sorry but I disagree with anyone who says you can eliminate the smell. Yes, you can reduce it but never totally eliminate it. It gets into the AC/heating ducts and coils, and every crack and crevice.

We recently traded coaches and in our search, our dealer wanted us to look at an otherwise nice 2006 Mountain Air 42' DP. The original owner told me his wife smoked in the coach.

I told the dealer he was wasting his and my time. Dealer had Serv Pro detail the coach, clean the ducts, clean everything. Then they ran the ozone gizmo for two days before we arrived to look at the coach.

It still smelled like a smoker's coach. Not bad but we could tell. After it sits closed up for a few days in the summer, the smell will rear it's ugly head, IMO. We left it and ended up with a nice, clean non-smoker's coach.

You can try to run the A/C and the heating system with this product by Justice Brothers called A/C Clean:

It works great when you have smoke damage inside a car or RV (from a forest fire, cigarettes, etc.)

Done that...the answer is ZERO! I bought a car from a chain smoker...cheap, for obvious reasons. There was no, zero, ABSOLUTELY NOT A TRACE OF odor in it!

and after you think you have it cleaned out and done the ozone thingy, wait for a nice hot/humid day after it has been shut up for a while, see how much stink returns.

Wash all windows and window frames twice. Open the windows. Wash the walls and every surface twice. Take anything fabric out and run it through the washer and dryer twice.

Close the windows and re-enter in a couple of hours to check the smell.

Fabreze has a reasonably effective spray for cigarette smells. Spray this around as needed.

Then, rent an ozone machine if the smell is still there.

If that doesn't work, leave a raw pork roast in the unit for a couple days.

You will have to clean anything that you can and for wood, clean it with Johnson's Oil Soap. Use the ozone machine (when you are not in it) and keep doors and windows open when you can. Any fabrics will hold the odor. After cleaning a few times, you should be able to remove it. Be thorough! Frebreeze
If painting - used a sealer like Bullseye or Zinser as your primer - then paint.

If anyone knows of a 1982ish vogue that has been owned by a chain smoker, let me know,. if it is cheap! for an affordable deal I can stand the smell. My olfactories are not stellar which is good for me.

Then it wasn't run long enough.

Trade it in on one that don't stink. I heard of many things to try but i never seen or heard anything that worked very good. Good luck hope you can get the smell out of there.
