Question: How to get cigar smoke smell out of car?

(Posted by: on 2011-12-26 21:25:29)

I drove a nissan pathfinder (2000), and my friend and i smoked cigars (one each) in it tonight. we had all the windows open, even the sun roof and were driving around. unfortunately, we're both pretty inexperienced in smoking in vehicles and a lot of the smoke stayed in. now my car smells like cigar smoke a lot. my questions are: being that this was the first (and only time) my car has been smoked in, will it reek like smoke for a long time? how long will it continue to smell? and what can i do to get the smell out?

Buy a 500g box and use most of it, buy some lemon essence( in the supermarket next to the food colours), add 2 drops of the lemon essence to the bicarb, then sprinkle most of the box over your seats and carpet. leave the car closed overnight and vacuum thoroughly in the morning. Keep a little of the mix aside to put in a small box under you Passenger seat for future smells, and just air the car out a little every time you drive. If you're not sure id the smell has gone completely ask someone who doesn't smoke to give your car the sniff test = ]

Well I have not personally tried this but fill a couple of bowls with baking soda and place them in your car for a couple hours. Baking soda is supposed to obsorb smells good luck

Air the Car out Good- & then go to a Cheap fast Food Place & Place a BIG Order of Whatever - & eat it IN the Car -with the Windows Closed. THEN, leave the food Wrappers IN the Car for one Day- before you throw them away. Your car will THEN smell like whatever you Ate for a few Days... But French Fries smell a LOT better- than stale Cigars !! :)
