What ever you decide to use you will have to "touch" everything with the cleaner as any spot missed will still leave an odor.

  • I think you are correct about this being a lot easier job if it can be done outside.
  • You will have to turn your chair upside down so you can clean everything, even the rollers.
  • If doing this outside, you could try using a 1/4 cup of ammonia in a pail of water as the ammonia will cut the "oily" residue that smoke leaves behind.

  • Just wipe a cloth across any part, including plastic, cloth, leather and see what your cloth looks like.
  • You may have to change your pail more than once as it will get very dirty. You can also do a light wipe off with clear water when you finish.
  • Nice sunshine will do the rest.
  • When using ammonia, be sure to be outside or in a well ventilated area - wear kitchen gloves - and try not to breath the fumes (wear a mask is best) but it is a good cleaner.
  • If you cannot use ammonia you might want to try one of the enzyme cleaners as these are recommended for pet "accidents" and are very good at removing odors from almost anything.
  • Enzyme cleaners can be found in the "cleaners" department at almost any of the big Walmart type stores.

Buy a product called Nok-Out. Mary Hunt recommends it and you can buy it on Amazon.

It is not the easiest thing to do, but the ONLY thing I know that will 100% guarantee to remove smoke smell is Ozone.

If I were you, I'd thoroughly clean the chair to remove all physical nicotine residue and then rent an ozone machine. Place it and your chair in a room which is able to be completely closed off from the house (like the garage) and turn it on and leave it for about 6 hours (leave the house during this time).

When you return vent out the room and the odor should be gone from the chair.

Mind you...ozone itself has a smell that lingers for a while, but it will dissipate.

Here is a link to an article, I genuinely hope this helps. - www.odorfreemachines.com/.../

Make sure you LEAVE the house if and when you do this and vent it upon return!!!

Thanks for the idea, I have had people tell me everything from baking soda peroxide vinegar to odoban and I know first I believe I will mix peroxide water soap in a little white vinegar together with baking soda and wash it down. If we're getting warmer and sunny or out it would be easier to put something on it and send it out in the sun but this weather will not change the cold keeps dragging and dragging on!
