Will it remove cigarette smoke from wood/wicker furniture without damaging the stain?

Seeing as how I've never actually tried that, I cannot say for certain. However, I do know that once it's sprayed on something (clothing, hair, etc), it does leave a very faint and somewhat oily residue. I would go with a large bottle of Gone Smoke, also available on Amazon. It dries almost instantly to the touch and also gets rid of the odors like cigarette smoke etc. It's safe to spray on fabrics and inside closets, so I would imagine it would probably be OK on wood or wicker. It also comes in cans of 16 ounces. Hope that helps.

I think using coffee soap would help, but I don't believe it would fully get rid of the smoke odor.

Yes. I have used this on Pine, oak, and laminate. Smells are gone with no damage to wood/surfaces.

It removes both the odor and the stain. Possibly on stains that have sat for over a year, it may only partially remove them.

Hi,I really can't say it will remove a stain, although I seem to remember a product made by this company to remove a stain. Best of luck :)

I've never used it for that purpose. It has a charcoal filter which sits on top of the HEPA filter. It does remove odors fairly well and I've set it up in the kitchen when I've burned something to remove the odor. It did a good job of that in my opinion. Cigarette smoke is different in some ways but I think this would probably help. With cigarette smoke you have tars and other substances which cling to furnishings and surfaces which would have to be cleaned in addition to filtering the air.

Sara, I have used ZEP for the past few years as a quick way to freshen up the car or a bedroom from smoking odors. It will neutralize the smell of tobacco that is in the air, via a chemical reaction (more than just masking with a scent). However, this product will not remove smoking odor that has become saturated into fabric such as carpet, or drywall material. The only effective method to extract impregnated odors is by using a high quality ozone generator (over 3000 mg/h). For the price ($89.), this unit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007GS3T8O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=KTA1084TTDPH&coliid=I18A6OYCZC1QV9 does an exceptional job. You will need a good room fan, and you must leave the house for 4 hours or more because ozone is toxic at this level. However, it dissipates quickly when the doors are opened, and it's safe after a few minutes of exposure to open air. Restoration contractors use these types of ozone generators to remove smoke odors after fire damage, smells after flooding, mold (including toxic molds), and the stench caused by just about any other rotting substance. And hotels use them to get rid of tobacco smoke. A good ozone generator will absolutely remove the odor of 4 years of constant smoking in a closed room. There isn't any kind of spray in a can that will do it. I hope this helps you.

No. Unfortunately anything that is contaminated with heavy cigarette smoke will not become smoke free with this product as we sadly found out.

I have had great results with Nok-Out but I haven't had occasion to use it with smoke odor. I found some details re tobacco/smoke odor on the Nok-Out site and maybe that might help. http://www.nokout.com/Tobacco-and-Smoke-Odor.html There are suggestions listed in the main text and more in the column on the left side of the page. It might depend on a number of factors....like the type of fiber in the cloth and the intensity of the smoke. Best of luck!

I have used it with no staining, it is not a cleaner, but it does eliminate odors incredibly well. bob

I'm not definite about cigarette smoke (I've never tried it), but i DO know it got disgusting fish oil supplement smell instantly out of my clothes as well as my friend's dog bed odor and her son's foot smell out of the room :-)....so.... I guess your chances are good!!!

I only used it on a chair which smelled strongly of cigarette smoke It didn't appear to harm the fabric. It did well to get rid of the smell almost completely. A couple months later the smoky smell started to reappear, so you may need to spray it more than once. Still should be a big improvement.

Not sure. We have bought this to purify the air, we have 7 cats at home. We are non smokers, so I don't really know if it would clean the air of smoke.It does a good job with cat particles.

We do not smoke but we have had dogs and it removes the dog smell. Plus we live in a rural area and there is a lot of skunks that get hit on the road near us. and this removes that odor as well. So i would imagine that it would remove smoke odor. Hope that helps.

I think so it worked to remove the smoke smell from my mother in laws furniture she is storing in my basement.

Again as noted on other responses, test it on an area which is not going to show. The stuff is strong, and might remove some natural finishes, like oil finishes. It is really not for furniture.

Yes it will. I just spray then wait a couple of minutes then wipe.But I have found that even though the smell is gone sometimes there is still the cat spray stain left - sometimes this too can be removed with a "magic sponge".
