Removing Smoke Smell from Clothing

RE: Removing Smoke Smell from Clothing Post by firemanswife90 (34) | (09/07/2007) Profile | Contact There was a family in my church whose house burned and they used Tide with Febreze to wash their clothes after trying other things and said that the Tide with Febreze seemed to work better than anything and really recommended it. You might try that. RE: Removing Smoke Smell from Clothing Post By Barb. Wing (Guest Post) (08/29/2007) I use 1 of 2 things. 1 is a product called Odor Check put out by Watkins. It works like a charm. 2 is Febreeze. I use it on every thing including my truck (inside). Good Luck RE: Removing Smoke Smell from Clothing Post By Linda Smith (Guest Post) (08/29/2007) Our house burned and the company we hired to clean our household items and store them used a special room they called the "Ozone Room". It circulated the air with maybe a chemical overnight and cleaned the odor right out of our clothes, bedding, fabrics, upholstery, anything they could fit into the room. You might check into this with some of the fire restoration companies.

Dip clothing in this then rinse in clean water. If this doesn't work you may need a smoke restorer. Look in the yellow pages under "Fire Damage Restoration". They will use an ozone treatment. This can be very expensive though. It may be cheaper to just buy new clothes.
