Smoke Smell

I'm moving into a house where a smoker has lived for 30 years. It smells like it, too. Any suggestions to get that deep down smoky smell out?

I burnt the pot of soup to charcoal and the house smelled really bad. I sprayed the walls with fabreez and kept the windows open and sprayed all fabrics curtains and boiled cinnamon and orange slices for the smell.

We ordered some T-2 to test for our readers and it is very pricey. They double charged us for our order and what we got was a tiny little 2 oz spray bottle (supposed to be 19.95 but was charged 39.95) I've written to them about it to see. Frankly the little bottle could be water. It is odorless. It says to use it with sunlight putting the item in the sun for 2 hours because it is activated by light. Two hours of sunshine will remove the odors from many things just by itself. At present, I would not recommend this.

Try T-2, a new product from Japan that kills odor and bacteria. It comes in a spray bottle, real easy. I think the website is http://www.T-2.biz .

If the walls are sheet rock, wash them down with
baking soda & water, then paint with a stain blocker mildew inhibiter, I used Kilz, Kmart & Walmart have it, there are other brands available. Make sure you do it on a day that is ok to keep your windows open because it's pretty stinky stuff. Then paint the walls with paint. Kilz is also great for water stains on walls, & ceilings.

Regular barbaque charcoal is good to put around too for smells.
