    You must wash the walls, and drapes, and all covers to couch's, and chairs. Then shampoo the carpet. What ever you can lay your eyes on, in other rooms too, will be stained with the smell of cig. smoke. As you do this, I would have some fresh air, like a wick, that you can soak into a pine sol, and let this fresh air, invade the room, to avoid the smell of the cig. smoke. Best wishes, and please do not allow smoking in your home again, or make sure that person will wash your entire home, ok? One of my closest friends was a chain smoker, and wow, when we came home, we headed for shower, to get that smell off us, and wash the clothes. It just is NOT good for our system, either. If you have given this up, my deepest CONGRADULATIONS!!! I am so pleased for you. J.

    Repaint it. Everything else does not work. But you also have smoke left in your ducts which will also cause smoke smells to linger. Just don't let people smoke in your house. I have NO friends who smoke and that solves all kinds of problems including cigarette burns in my carpet, furniture and butts in my front yard. Smoking is just nasty and smokers are rarely considerate of others.

    Use a 1 to 1 ratio of vinegar and water. You may need to do it a couple of times. You may also find the smell is in the floor also. Mop with the vinegar and water. Then paint the walls and reseal the floor.

    I washed my walls with OxiClean and water. I used 1cup oxi with a gallon of water, I have semi gloss painted white and green walls. Hope this works for you. If you still smell the smoke wash walls with fabuloso, it is great in any scent you pick. It is usually by the floor cleaning isle in Walmart.

It worked great. There were such bad smokers in there before that there were clean squares on walls where things hung and the water dripping down the walls as we washed was caramel colored.

    Wash them with hot water and TopJob or Mr. Clean. If it's really bad you may have to seal and paint.
