Getting cigarette smoke out

[greyowl]

Last week I had a cousin stay with me cuz her mom died and she needed to be with someone. She chain smoked the entire time she was here and given the shape she was in, I wasn't about to stop her.

She's been gone two days now and the place still smells like an ashtray even tho I kept the windows open all day. It's in everything -- carpets, closets, the sofa, yadda yadda yadda.

I've got a classy gf coming over this weekend and I don;t want the place smelling like a sailor's armpit.How do I do to get rid of the odour?

Fuck me, I can't believe I smoked myself for thirty years!

Febreeze may help

GOD I SHOULD OF HAD THAT RULE A LONG TIME AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greyowl just tell her the truth !!
and maybe even have her help you pick out some nice scented candles
at a girly shop .
her knowing your a guy who would be there in a time of need for a loved one will make a better impression than being a guy that cleaned the carpets to impress a date

I agree, tell her the truth. If it bothers YOU that much and have the place cleaned by a cleaning crew. They are really dirt cheap, about 100$ a shot in my area. They will clean everything in site. Before booking the cleaning, let them know of certain smells, stains and whatnot. They will bring certain chemicals for your exact problems...

I was younger and worked for a cleaning company. Those guys can do wonders.
