You could probably kill a person(s) right on the carpet, clean up the evidence, steam the carpets and repaint everything in the room and still have the smoke smell remaining.
Why dont you try making some really strong coffee when they come to see about if it smells. Just brew it for a couple of days so thats the smell that hits them. I think that would mask the smoking smell better than anything.
I remember hearing that if you want to take an odor out of a car, you cut apples and place them around the car. The apple slices will absorb the smell. Maybe do the same for your house?
Apple slices? No. That's orange or lemon peels you are thinking of. Or even better, get polemo peels. They are really good at absorbing odors.
I just figured it out. You should invite him over and convince him that smoking is good. Tell him about all the GOOD side-effects. If you're good enough, you might get your grand back.
Good luck with this. Smoke smell is hard to get rid of. I can tell if someone smokes in their home as soon as I walk in.
The smell of tobacco smoke is one of the worst smells I can think of and it is very difficult to get rid of. When you try to cover it up it ends up smelling like potpourri (or whatever else you're using) + tobacco smoke which is even worse.
Really? Reaaly? You must hate staying at non-smoking hotels now, because once upon a time, there was smoking allowed in those rooms. Obviously, there are chemical agents available to get rid of it. I've no idea what the cost would be. I'd try to find out what hotels are using.
The poster wants some help and instead gets all these dumb a** responses. Reminds me of some of the comments people put on the chronicle after an article. Try this company out they are located off of hempstead highway. hillyard.com
Obviously you missed the point of my post. His landlord told him no smoking and if he did then he would forfeit his deposit. He is trying to deceive his landlord. Are you the type of person who accepts an agreement and then tries to back out? This is what the original poster is suggesting. I have no tolerance for folks who want to renege on an agreement.
If you knew when the landlord was coming over, bake a pie or cobbler in the oven at least half an hour before he comes over. Maybe earlier than that. It can be something cheap from the frozen bin of the grocery. Make sure its been baking for a long time and is still baking when he's there. In other words, find something that bakes for a long time. It might cover a lot of the smell up. Won't last, but would help for a couple of hours. Maybe.
he wants to know how to cheat his landlord out of $1000+ when he clearly broke the rules. no sympathy. anyhow, you can smell a smoker a mile away. i'm sure it won't come cheap either if he uses a professional company. either way, he's screwed.
What if the landlord comes back next week, and smells smoke? He might get drug into court to get the grand back.
Yeah, I agree. I'm sure the poster has no idea how bad cigarettes are, and that some people don't like it. Everybody should jump on him and just make sure he knows that, and in the process, make ourselves look like model citizens. Brilliant!
They use huge machine that dump so much mask and perfume stiff in there, no one is allowed to enter when it is running. It is on a timer.
