How to Get Rid of Smoke Smell in Your Car

Smoke can be a challenge to eliminate from your vehicle. It is possible that you will need professional help, but before you shell out the cash take a look at our step-by-step instructions.


Air It Out

  • Take your vehicle to an area that is well-ventilated.
  • Open the windows and remove any items and get rid of every scrap of garbage.


Vacuum All Surfaces

  • Take off your floor mats and seat covers and then begin vacuuming all over your vehicle.
  • A handheld vacuum or vacuum equipped with an attachment to get into the most difficult places and corners is perfect for this task.
  • Cleanse your mats on the floor separately, after they've been aired by the sunlight for while.


Wash All Surfaces

  • Mix water and white vinegar in a 1:1 ratio into spray bottles and spray your furnitures.
  • Make use of a microfiber towel to clean all of those upholstery areas, the interior paneling the steering wheel, the dashboard, etc.
  • Pro Tip: You must also clean your glass with glass cleaners to get rid of any residue from cigarettes that has accumulated on your windshield and windows.


Ventilate

  • Start the engine and turn the fan on high, and then turn the air conditioner to the lowest setting.
  • While the windows are rolled down, allow the car's air ventilation system to pull the smell out of the car.
  • While the A/C and fan are remaining on, spray an odor neutralizer through the vents.
  • The Pro-Tip is to repeat the procedure, but this time switch the heat completely up before spraying the neutralizer again into the vents.


Enlist the Help of a Pro

  • Despite all your efforts, there are times when the smoke smell is so pervasive that it's almost impossible to get rid of. If that is the case, think about taking more drastic steps such as replacing the upholstery or the headliner (roof fabric) or carpet.


If you're not interested in undertaking this task for yourself, consider hiring a professional! The cost ranges depending if you want to have a thorough interior cleaning, according to your area of residence, and the dimensions of your car.
