gluedtopc Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 How do I get rid of the smell? Is there something I can spray on the carpets and upholstery. I've heard you can use baking soda/vinegar and other stuff. Has anyone tried it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gluedtopc Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Guess I'll need a lot for the whole house? The smoke smell is really stale as the previous owner was a heavy smoker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnailyBoy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 It'll probably need more drastic measures, replacing carpets, furnishings and redecorating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
father ted Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Get the carpets properly washed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yep, find a carpet and upholstery cleaning service and get a full deep clean. Plenty advertise on Facebook groups and classified sites. If you're renting furnished, get the landlord to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrock Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 it's not just carpets, soft furnishings etc that will be holding the oudor, we stopped somking over 10 years ago, and bit by bit we went through the house replacing items and redecorating, the smell from the old wallpaper was vile as we were stripping it off.

If they are provided as part of a "furnished" contract for the property, then it's the landlords responsibility to clean/remove smells and replace items that are soiled etc...
