I usually do it at night so ozium has time to 'work'. Make sure to close all the windows, spray abundantly and you'll feel a big difference. Repeat if necessary. It works, it's an amazing product. Good luck!

I can't describe the smell, because it's not quite like a common fragrance like the Renuzit deodorizers where you can pick the smell. Has a slight lemon smell, not too strong. I used it in a room where there was a smoker who closed the door. So I took about 3 jars to completely get the smell out, but this works better than anything I've tried. We can now leave the door open without smelling the smoke odor.

Run it for twenty or thirty minutes outside - it will burn off the residue that is causing the bad smell - then just bring it in and turn it on. For the most part it works very well.

Patrick, Actually, I purchased the bare bones ozone generator. I haven't had the opportunity to use it to remove cigarette smoke but it did a fine job removing several other odors. The instruction sheet that came with the unit gives a basic guideline as to its use but some experimentation is required. I would suggest that you start slowly, maybe an hour, and check the results. Times will vary depending on the subject's size. Be sure to read the instructions regarding healthy use.

Liquid Dawn, the dishwashing soap. A teaspoon in a gallon of room temperature water. Wipe down furniture and let dry in a fresh air room. Use fans to circulate and speed up the drying. Repeat process if smell remains. If the room smells of nicotine the best method for airing it out is to simmer white vinegar in a large pot for at least 30 minutes and then let it stand overnight. In the morning the vinegar smell will be gone and hopefully all of the smoke smell.

Hi Frank.....It took the stale smell of cigarette smoke out of a car, so possibly it will work on mildew too. IF whatever has caused it no longer is an issue.Have found it very effective on all kinds of disagreeable odors.

I think it will. It will gradually reduce the smell of the smoke, but you have to quit smoking first (at least inside the car) :) You might want to use febreze first.

It does an excellent job of removing smoke; however, over time nicotine being removed from the air accumulates on the filters which causes the smell to never completely go away simply because air is being drawn through nicotine saturated filters and then expelled back into the air. A frequent change of filters will help keep the cigarette odor to a minimum. In an effort to save money, I have been known to put the filters in the bathtub, saturate them with Awesome Cleaner, let them set for a few minutes and then rinse them with the extended shower-head. The nicotine literally pours out of the filters. I let them dry for a few days and put them back into the enclosure. They're almost as good as new.

Probably. I've never used it on smoke but I did talk to a contractor who uses an ozone generator in buildings to clean up odors. Just make sure you don't directly breath the fumes. The ozone initially has a strong rain like smell but after the smell dissipates, everything smells fresh.

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

Good question. I don't smoke and don't have any visitors that smoke either, but from everything I've seen it should help a *lot*. Of course realize that the smoke particles will plate out on your floor, walls and furniture as they are pulled out of the air. I doubt you'd find any air purifier that would do a *better* job with cigarette smoke. (it would be interesting to compare it to an air filter though)

I can't answer this definitively. I would think it would be strong enough to get rid of dog smell. Our car has odors of cigarette smoke and mold and this product masked the odors for a short time, but they returned after a couple of days. Sorry- I doubt this was helpful!

Thanks for the question :) Yes if anything will it will. Nothing will remove strong odors like Ozone and this is our most powerful model. So yes it should remove it no problem. If you look at the New Comfort Ozone Air Purifiers even a less powerful model should work just fine for a car like that. We have heard from customers who use these that they remove the smoke smell and the new paint smell so I am sure it would work for you no problem.Thanks DustinGreatVacs (Seller)

throw it in the dryer with a dryer sheet and it will help with the odor. Doesn't last too long unless you have a sensitive nose.

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.
