Cleaning & Organization: Leftover smell of smoke in car

My sister finally gave up smoking 2 years ago but the smoke smell is still in the car. She was told it would cost $600.00 to remove it as they would have to take the car apart. Is there another way of getting rid of this smell. Thank You

  • If you look closely you'll see that my husband labelled the label maker.  I think he might be making fun of me....
  • ... I can't imagine why.  I mean, isn't it nice to know where the cereal goes?

  • With the addition of my Silhouette machine, I am able to take my love of labeling to a whole new level!  Check out these custom vinyl labels on my gift wrap drawers.
  • Tell me this isn't just a little bit appealing?

(And if it isn't, feel free to make fun of me.  You'll be in good company.)
