Getting Cigarette Stank Out Of A Car

I used some odor remover to get rid of some wet dog/mildew kind of smell out of a car once. Worked great. Sprayed it on and within a week, all the odor was gone. I can't remember the name of it, it might have been ZEP brand, but I got it at Lowe's. Came in a spray bottle like windex. It has a slight sour smell to it (like vinegar), but it goes away by the time the bad odors go away. I just liberally sprayed it on the carpet when I locked it up for the night.

I've had good luck with dryer sheets. Wipe down every surface.- Josh

in addition to the good advice above, remove the carpet, set it on the concrete on a hot sunny day and pressure wash it. let it set out and dry a day or two. reinstall. trust me. works fantastic.sigpic

Seriously tho, the tip to take out the console and look for ash is good. Normally the smell will go away unless there is ash/butts sticking around. Otherwise just overall clean the interior/carpetCurrent:

QFT. Smoking with the windows down ensures ash gets EVERYWHERE. You need to take the seats and consoles out and vacuum/blast with compressed air to get all the ash out. Park it with the windows/sunroof cracked whenever possible.--Will

I used to have a work truck that I wasn't allowed to smoke in. Being that I was on the road for 10-12 hours at a time, a manager, and a smoker, that wasn't going to happen. I used this spray I got at a gas station called Blunt Blocker. Worked great, but then I found Ozium. Ozium was fantastic, and they never figured out that I was smoking in the truck.
