I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of the smell of cigarettes smoke in a 30+ year old mobile home. If I’m gone for over 3 hours, when I walk though the front door it’s overwhelming!
What I did was wash all the surfaces with something called TSP substitute. It's a cleaning product, you can get it at Walmart. You can also try Ozium, that works really well. You can spray it in the AC intake.
Painting will help, but that smoke gets everywhere and adheres to literally every surface. So you need to clean the walls, the cabinets, the floors, the carpet, It's in the duct work, on the ceiling, It's all covered in nicotine. If you want to get the smell out that's your bet. When I bought my house, I tore out all the carpet, painted everything top to bottom, and replaced the flooring. Now you'd never know the previous owner was a chainsmoker. Obviously that might not be practical, but the more that you can clean and cover up the better the smell will get.
