But, if the first method won’t work, you may try adding baking soda from a newly opened box over your upholstered furniture. You should include cushions. If you can remove the cushions, you may do so. Then, put the baking soda on the affected areas and let it sit for about 30 minutes by the maximum. The next step is to vacuum the furniture.

But, for me, painting it is such an excellent way to give a new life to the old design of your chair or table. Also, it does a perfect job in hiding the stink of the cigarette. But, ensure to clean the surfaces first. Then, try smoothening or wiping for high adhesion.

Combine an odor remover with two parts of water and a part of white vinegar. Mix all of these ingredients in a spray bottle and release the light mist all over the furniture. Squirt the solution on the surfaces of the wood gently. Then, let it dry for a few minutes. You may test out the sprayer in another area first to make sure that it does not leave stains on your chair and table.

If the room smells like smoke, it is not shocking that the furniture has the same the same smell too. You may let the air in inside the area with your windows open. Then, turn on your fan that will draw fresh air in the room and take the stale air out of the windows.

You may put the bowl of vinegar in the room overnight to assist in the removal of the sticking odor. Remember that the vinegar can smell a bit high. So, you may add a small amount of lemon juice to the bowl to neutralize the smell. Also, a house exposed to cigarette smoke for years needs a thorough cleaning.

So, you have to wash all of your curtains and cushions. Freshen up the rugs and carpets to remove the odor of the cigarette smoke all over the place.

Are your chairs, cabinets, and tables still stinky? The molds may be the culprit here. To fight this, you have to use the tool to clean the drawers and the interior. Then, set them in an open area where direct sunlight can hit it for at least one to two hours. If the odor persists, combine 1 gallon of water and ¼ cup of borax. Wipe the mixture down all the surfaces of the furniture. Allow this to dry up properly.

If you can, you may mask the stinky odor using a citrus oil polish. Rub it slowly into the wood using a soft cloth. If you want, then you can put the oil on the entire surfaces of the furniture.
