- 1). Buy a large box or two of baking soda. You can add a scent of lavender or vanilla if you want to add a fragrance to the air. You can find dried lavender and vanilla at craft stores or other stores that have a craft section. The ingredients in the baking soda trap the smoke and the air, and your home will begin to have a fresh smell.
- 2). Sprinkle baking soda generously over carpets and furniture. Let this sit for several hours. During this time, you can also fill several bowls with vinegar, and place them around your home. To decrease the vinegar smell, you can add an essential oil of your choice to the vinegar.
- 3). After a few hours, vacuum the carpets and furniture thoroughly using the attachment tools to reach the difficult areas around the baseboards and in crevices of the furniture. If you placed bowls of vinegar around the house, you can dump these at the same time. It may be necessary to repeat these steps several times before the smoke odor is completely removed.
- 4). If there are smokers in your home or car, purchase an ionic smokeless ashtray. This device uses activated carbon charcoal filters to trap the smoke, leaving the air clean. Another option is to use a spray household odor eliminator. These products are considered to actually clean the air, not simply mask the odors by covering them with a fragrance.
