The best ways to eliminate cigar odors

Smoke stains clothes. It seeps into your car, office and home. It disturbs non-smokers trying to avoid second-hand smoke. You don't have to give up one of life's greatest pleasures to get rid of the smell of smoke. Follow these steps to get rid of the smell for good.

Clothing

For your linens and washable clothes if they smell of smoke, a hot water wash with a little baking soda should do the trick. Before stopping the rinse cycle, add a cup of distilled white vinegar. If they're not machine-washable, soak the clothes in two tablespoons of baking soda and two dryer sheets. Leave the clothes to soak overnight, then shake off the baking soda before cleaning as usual. Humidity also helps remove odors from clothing. Place your smoky clothes in an area with high humidity. This should allow the moisture to cover the fabric.. Many of the components in the scent of cigar will disappear as they evaporate. You can also spray your clothes with water and dry them outside. If you can't change or wash your clothes, keep an anti-odour spray handy. Unlike other deodorants, the spray works by wicking away odors (many of which combine with the existing smell to create a noxious odor).

Car

While you can soak your clothes and use sprays to eliminate the smell of smoke, these methods don't work in your car. The smell can easily permeate leather and fabric seats, but there are ways to freshen them up. Dryer sheets work well to remove smoke odors from fabric seats. Clean the seats with the sheets and slide a few under the seats. Another method is to use cinnamon. Unlike the leaf method, this one involves boiling the cinnamon in a small saucepan for a few minutes. Using a travel mug, carry the liquid cinnamon mixture in your car. Close the windows and leave the mixture to work. Keep it in your car until it reaches room temperature. These steps will refresh your car quickly.

House

Maybe you're having a party or your aunt is coming over for Christmas and you don't want that cigar smell. There are a few simple steps you can take to effectively eliminate smoke odors from your home. First of all, an air purifier can eliminate the molecules that cause odors. You can use white sugar or vinegar to absorb odors if you still smell smoke after airing your home. Replace them daily with new ones. Window coverings are another major smoke absorber. Whether curtains, blinds or shades, you'll need to remove them for cleaning. Non-wooden coverings can be soaked in a tub of all-purpose cleaner, vinegar and water. Curtains and drapes can be replaced or dry-cleaned. Soak washable curtains in hot water. Spray windows with vinegar and clean with a microfiber cloth. The measures described above should help you get rid of the smell of smoke. If you don't have much time, it's best to smoke elsewhere. Cigar lounges have a patio where you can enjoy a good cigar and a drink without the smell of smoke invading your car or home. They offer a selection of cigarsand other premium products.
