Getting rid of the cigarette smell?

By Jailbreak Ryan
- Sat Apr 24, 2010 8:38 pm #189836 Any suggestions on getting rid of that nasty old cigarette smell that lingers in the car? I bought some carpet and fabric cleaner at O'Reilly's today and scrubbed every bit of interior and armoralled. I just bought of the CS-X3 air freshener. Is there anything else I can do to eliminate that smell?

This also works with ammonia, but ammonia is WAY more potent smelling and can cause gagging and such.


The next way, which you may not be so skeptical about is baking soda, which should take the smell away after a few days.


And then if you want to spend some money to get rid of the smell you can get this stuff called Ozium, which i have heard works very well.
