How To Get Rid of Smell

Well unfortunately I let my friend use my truck and he decided to smoke a cigar.

He had the windows open and only smoked one for about 20 mins. However the smell will not leave the truck.

I have:

Sprayed ozium
Sprayed Oust
Used Incense
Used citrus odor absorbers
Used Dryer sheets
Left the car windows open overnight and during work

Yet the smell remains. Any suggestions to get the damn cigar smell out?

 

Chris4x4 knows of some good stuff because he smokes cigars. I never smoke mine in my truck so I'm not sure. Good luck!

 

OK thanks.

BTW I was looking at your truck. Looks nice, I also noticed your name is Alex too and that you are 19 like me.

 

Try leaving a couple of small bowls of coffee grinds out or a little while, it should get rid of the smell.

 

Have you tried Fabreeze?

Sometimes time is all that's needed

 

i would air it out daily
then spray some ozium through the ac ducts on the outside of the vehicle
turn on a/c, open vents, spray into vents from outside near wipers. then run that for a while. it should help. and then get a nice strong air freshner. i would recodmend a citrus smell like orange. thats what i have in my car.

 

my friends did the same thing last weekend
i used alot of febreze and left it over night
now my tryck smells fruity but at least it dosent smell like cigars

 

I am not sure if you have a "cabin" air filter. if you do, change it. Just a thought.

 

AbsorbAll worked for me.

 

baking soda.. Leave a couple boxes in it over night, or sprinkle it on the carpets, let it sit and the vacuum it out.

 

I tried febreeze and baking soda. Nothing worked. I was impressed by the AbsorbAll tho.

 

Use an ozone generator. You'll have to rent one since they are expensive.

 

I'd try kicking your friend's ass and see if that helps.

 

"Cigarette smoke can be deodorized easily by short shock treatments with ozone. An ozone generator will turn hotel smoking rooms or rental cars that smell like smoke into non smoking rooms or cars in about 30-60 minutes with a small ozone generator."

my dad did this to my old truck. i just drove with the windows down and left them down outside when i wasnt driving it whenever i could and the smell was gone in 2 weeks.

 

x2. Doesnt anyone have any respect for others property anymore? Before my tacoma, if I had to borrow a truck, I would fill it up and wash it. This is why no one borrows the Taco.

 

ive always had good luck with just febreeze! let ur friend know that was pretty damn disrespectful of him!

 

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We bought a used truck that had been smoked in a little bit. it isn't overpowering, but it bugs me. I tried Febreeze, having been told that it would not mask the smell with a heavy perfume, but actually remove it HA! neither my wife or I could get in the truck for several days because of the extremely heavy perfume smell of the febreeze. I will NEVER use that stuff again. I might try some of the other suggestions here because I would like to actually remove the smoke smell, but I'd rather smell an ash tray than Febreeze.
