Get Rid of Smoke Smell

Mark Smith

Hello all,

I'm interested in purchasing a property currently owned and occupied by someone who smokes like a chimney.  What are the basics for cleaning it up and getting rid of the smell?  Remove all carpeting and I figure a couple coats of Kilz paint to seal the walls up, but what seems to have worked well for you all?

Wash all hard surfaces with trisodium phosphate mixed with water.  Just google 'trisodium phosphate cigarette smoke'  for more info.
