some have told me that I should pour a cup of bleach into two gallons of water and wash the whole place with this mixturesomeone else mentioned a bowl of vinegar placed in the middle of the floor.I have also tried Coffee which did help absorb a lot of the odor but there is still a lingering scent.I am frustrated because I am no expert cleaner. and I cant believe that washing the walls and doors did not solve this issue.

i bought one house (forgot how long ago) that had an old, old carpet.. the walk areas of the carpet were so thin, that you could feel the hardwood underneath. when we went to take out the carpet and pad, the pad had deteriorated so much, that 90% of was turned into dust, the rest of it (10%) was glued to the hardwood underneath. it took us about a day with vinegar, water, and numerous different scrapers to try to peel the pieces and residue off. hosing down the floor would be a nice option. like a prison cell.

I've heard from different people that you're supposed to pour either bleach or vinegar into the AC condensate line once a month to prevent backups.

You can fill bowls with vinegar or activated charcoal and place them in closed off rooms.

If they've been smoking in it for years this might not work but I mixed a solution of vinegar and warm water and wiped down about every square inch of walls and windows in a rental where it smelled very bad of smoke.

I have used a mixture of vinegar cleaner to clean the carpet and get pet smells out and it may work for smoke smells as well.

Either a water and vinegar solution or you can use a product called Nature's Miracle which can kill urine odor.

You will catch more flies if you use honey instead of vinegar.

It is a good deal considering the low level of risk, so I guess it goes along with the saying, "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar."

It can penetrate into electrical outlets and cabinet crevices.We start with a white vinegar/water wash of every surface.
