Angry Tobacco Smell

Hi guys,

Any advice on how to get rid of Tobacco smell it's driving me mad I have cleaned the car fully and used fabreeze and polish on all the surfaces. This sorts the problem out for a week or two but it then gradually comes back.

It’s really strong when the car is sat in the sun, and with spring coming and the vague chance or some warmer weather I want to get it sorted!

What else would you guys recommend?

Cheers

Mark

Wink tobbaco Smell

Give bicarbonate of soda a try sprinkle on the seats and carpet and leave for a couple of hours and then hover it. Cost's only pence and it does work. You can buy it at all supermarkets and costs about 90p so if it doesen't work you haven't payed a fortune for it. Its worth a try its always worked for me.

Get a bottle of WHITE VINEGAR from the Supermarket.

Get a Bowl, half fill with the Vinegar, bring a kettle to just before boiling, fill up to 3/4 /ths full.

Place bowl in car on mat UNCOVERED, lock up leave overnight.

Smell will be gone for good, (unless you let someone smoke in your car again!)


This really works.

If you want to get rid of the *** smell try it!

Take up smoking, you'll stop noticing it - I think mine never smells of ****, although other people comment on it. Then again, I do waste a lot of money on an unhealthy, antisocial hobby. And I'm not talking about Scooby ownership!
