How do you get the smell of cigarette smoke out of walls and fabric?
There are several ways to get rid of the smell. Baking soda, coffee grounds, vinegar, and onions are all effective ways to get rid of the smell.
For baking soda, make sure you sprinkle some in an inconspicuous area of the fabric to make sure that it is okay to use. Afterwards, sprinkle it on the fabric and wait a few hours before vacuuming it up.
Put coffee grounds into coffee filters and tie them closed. Place several of them around the affected area to absorb the odor. Wait for a few hours.
Put vinegar on cloth and leave it near or on the furniture to absorb odors. It should take a few hours.
Cut up onions and place it in a plastic wrap. Leave it on or near the fabric for a few hours before discarding them.
