Removing Smoke Smell?

This house will be painted and recarpeted and tiled. Do I need to do anything else to remove the smell of smoke in the property.?

I put some open baking powder in a couple rooms one time and then sealed the room off for a day or two and then opened it back up. That worked pretty well, but I am sure there are better ways. We repainted and recarpeted just like you are.

Go to a janitorial supply house. They've got the stuff you need.

Make sure you seal all the painted areas with BIN paint. You can use Kilz but it won't work on smoke...I learned that from another person. BIN is at Home Depot and Lowes and is costly...about 20.00 a gallon but it's thin like water and goes pretty far. It's specifically designed for after a fire but I use it for cigaretter smoke with good results. Whatever you get this paint on...it's not coming off as it's a shellac type of base but can be painted over with any kind of paint you choose to use.

try an ozone generator.. You can rent them for about $60/day or buy one for about $600... Nothing works better or faster.. I use them all the time

flash2000,

i used ozone air machine. I had a home that a renter left his dog in . You know what that smells like,it was rotted and www.all.lol, i used 1 from friend it was a commercial one . Left it in home for 2 days. Well i ended up buying 1. Very good in vestment. They take out cigeret smoke, dog smell even i heard they use in homes were the found dead people that been in there a while. Local car dealers us them in cars to get the cigaret smell out. M y .02

just don't buy an Oreck air purifier with the ionizer. I haven't seen any duifference and when I wash the filter, no dirt.

So I recommend against buying anything after taking a nap on a Sunday afternoon.
