People who use cigarettes, pipes, cigars, or even a fireplace regularly really have no idea how much their home can smell like smoke to others when they visit you. When you are in your house all of the time, you can become somewhat immune to the stale, smoky odor that tobacco products and a fireplace can leave behind. There is a simple reason for this. Even though you might open your doors and windows periodically, the smell remains because of the smoke residue that coats many of the surfaces in the home.

You can use all of the scented sprays that you can buy, but until the smoke residue is removed from these surfaces, the smell will remain. This will likely require that you clean your walls, ceilings, and floors. Your draperies and upholstered furniture will need to be cleaned. Carpets can attract all kinds of odors and hold them until they are shampooed as well. The clothes, coats, and linens that you have stored in your closets can have this smell when they have not been taken out and laundered.

Since it is not a routine habit to go around scrubbing down walls and ceilings all of the time, the smoke residue in your home can build up for several years in between cleaning and repainting. So, what do you do about the smell in your house? There are several things that can be done to eliminate the odors and get rid of them once and for all.

Calling in a professional cleaning service to do all of the hardest work will be your best bet to get everything clean and fresh all at once. A professional cleaning service can come in and be able to have all of the work done in a day or two depending on the size of your house. They will also be able to help you keep this stinky problem from coming back by giving you some tips.

The first tip is when you use your fireplace, you can use a clean air machine to help pull the residue from the air. Having a wood burning fireplace cleaned once a year after you are through using it for the cold season will also help the smell and be safer for you to use next season. Any smoking of tobacco materials should be done outside and quitting all together is an even better solution.
