i use to smoke so i now notice the smell very strongly. i just got a truck from a smoker. i bought some renuzit super odor neutralize. that plus i shampooed the interior and can not tell there was ever a smoker in it.

odo-ban works well... can get it at wal-mart.

Dr. Steve · 01-19-2009, 03:23 AM

start smoking???

No really Ozium works wonders...

99sonoma4x4 · 02-16-2009, 12:42 PM

I soaked my front and rear seats yesterday with febreze yesterday I hope it works I hate smoke smell.

ohio420jb · 02-16-2009, 01:59 PM

banana peel under the seat

customchevys · 02-16-2009, 09:31 PM

yea febreze works well too. I bought a S-10 someone smoked in and sprayed febrezed on the seats, floor etc. I have extended cab and I wipe the inside of the back glass off with a rag and window cleaner and it was completely black when I was done.

stick a decaying raccoon underneath the seats, you won't smell it after a few days. You can do the same with a trout.

scott9001 · 02-16-2009, 11:32 PM

bounce sheets for the dryer in the truck. plus make ur truck smell good all the time

ZQ8 Blazer · 02-17-2009, 04:00 AM

I'd take them out and take them to a carwash and shampoo them good. Take them back home and let the sit out in the sun and air out for a couple days, every so often I'd do what the guy suggested above and use renuzit, it's a lot better than Febreeze imo.

KENNYMO · 02-17-2009, 04:05 AM

whats crazy is i smoke multiple times daily in my truck. and it does not smell like smoke 1 bit. and thats not just me thinking that. everyone is shocked when they find out i smoke in there cuz you cant smell it at alll.

ZQ8 Blazer · 02-17-2009, 04:10 AM

You and everyone you know needs to quit smoking, then you all will smell it.

badmatt · 02-17-2009, 04:40 AM

make sure you clean the headliner also smoke rises remember

ohio420jb · 02-17-2009, 09:18 AM

seriously though a banana peel would suck the odor up after a day or two

He bought the seats out of a vehicle he suspects was a smoker.

I'd rent a carpet shampooer, or spray them down with soap and water and scrub them clean.

Lol @ the febreze & other odor sprays. I hope that's not how you treat everything that is dirty.

i agree...you have to clean them not mask the odor...

ZQ8 Blazer · 02-17-2009, 04:43 PM

hey hey hey.......I said shampoo them 1st, let them air out, and while they're doing so then use renuzit... It says right on the bottle "Super(super mind you) Odor Neutralizer" "Eliminates Odors in Fabric"

Hot-box your truck, it'll smell better

Nothing like being around 10 degrees out and going somewhere and see someone standing in the cold shaking and trembling and trying to smoke their cig, everytime I see it I just shake my head. But what gets me more is when they think that cracking the window takes all the smoke out which it does some but not all of it, and then they fling the damn things out the window when you are right behind them, Just want to ram them and tell them they dropped something back there.

Find a janitorial supply company close to you and ask about smoke out. We sale it to motels etc and it works wonders

i get the same thing. i smoke in my truck all the time and nobody, even the nonsmokers riding in it, couldnt tell until they see me light one up. i use these new car colognes air sprays, and those little new car smell trees. smells bomb in the dime

Tex Star Detail · 03-06-2009, 03:52 PM

Take it to a detailer and have them shampoo the seats, then run an ozone machine in the car.

will it.....?

s10ls72u · 03-08-2009, 09:12 AM

newspaper helps too

evandonald · 03-08-2009, 01:28 PM

My grandfather used to smoke cigars in my truck. I also cleaned the windows to find a black residue on the rag. I rented a carpet steamer/cleaner with an upholstery attachment and it works wonders. It steams/shampoos then sucks it up.

here is an example from youtube.

Brian B · 03-10-2009, 12:09 AM

Tuff Stuff foaming cleaner , a stiff bristle brush , and a shop vac .....

Spray the seats and carpet with tuff stuff , dip your brush in water and shake off the excess , a little rubbing with the brush , and suck it dry with the shop vac , it will better than brand new .
