That's one of the first things I noticed - two days into my quit I got into my car and couldn't believe the stink!! How did I never notice it before - I was so embarrassed that I had given non-smoking friends lifts in the car - what must they of thought??? Anyway I did all the usual - air fresheners, febreeze etc but the smell was still there. Had to resort to a professional valet - used some of the money saved by not smoking - and that made a big difference.

I got a guy in to do mine professionally. Didn't cost too much and it is lovely. Only thing is the smoke is in the walls and curtains I think cos I can still smell it sometimes when I walk in the room. Does make you think about what was going on inside you.

I had the same problem with my loveseat. It was in the same room that I smoked for years and I too noticed after doing such a great cleaning that there was still a horrible odour of smoke. It was the sofa. I just filled a bucket 1/2 way with very warm water and Ivory dish soap (very gentle soap btw..) and washed it down with a scrub brush that had fine bristles.. and it cleaned it up perfectly :) J xo [IMG]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o304/Monica58/thumbsup-1.gif[/IMG] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 29 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 734 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $297.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 21 [B]Seconds:[/B] 28

Lolo, You could try speading baking soda on it and letting it sit then clean it off. I know it works on pet odors give it a try. :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/21/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 43 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 868 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $279.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 56 [B]Seconds:[/B] 23

Try a saucer of vinegar, sitting on a table for a few hours. It may help, vinegar does help remove odours. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 59 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,484 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $622.45 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 7 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9
