This is the best auto carpet cleaner I have ever used, but smoke - It will work in the carpets but I am not sure about the headliner. I just spray the product on the carpet and wipe with a wet rag and the carpet look and smell clean. I assume it will work on the headliner as well.

I have never tried 303 for that purpose. As well as it cleans I would suspect that odor, as well as appearance, would improve with removal of the vile susbtances.

It does. I have a neighbor that smokes...if I smell it I turn the fan to high and the smell goes away quickly. I used to be a heavy smoker, If you or a family member is a smoker I would keep it running all the time on medium or high, it would help a lot with keeping the smell out of upholstery, furniture clothes etc. have not tested this though.

I sit in a room with my husband while he smokes cigars, and as soon as I turn it on, it eliminates pretty much all of the smoke and the smell, which to me is pretty amazing, Since you are in a whole separate area, I would start it up before the dinner hour and leave it running throughout, then shut it down at closing. I have heard this is what one would use to eliminate cigarette smoke Oder from previously owned cars and it is very successful too!

I've never used it for that purpose. It has a charcoal filter which sits on top of the HEPA filter. It does remove odors fairly well and I've set it up in the kitchen when I've burned something to remove the odor. It did a good job of that in my opinion. Cigarette smoke is different in some ways but I think this would probably help. With cigarette smoke you have tars and other substances which cling to furnishings and surfaces which would have to be cleaned in addition to filtering the air.

Don't know about pet odors. Purchased this for smoke odors which does a so-so elimination.

I only used it on a chair which smelled strongly of cigarette smoke It didn't appear to harm the fabric. It did well to get rid of the smell almost completely. A couple months later the smoky smell started to reappear, so you may need to spray it more than once. Still should be a big improvement.

In my experience, no ionizer can FULLY eliminate that kind of smoke (I am also extremely sensitive to it). However, if the smoke smell is very fresh, it might help quite a bit to clear it up and prevent it from becoming permanent, although it may not fully take care of it. If you are trying to remove the odor from an item or a piece of furniture that has had long-term exposure, it will give only minor relief, although it can help a little under those circumstances. Depending on what you are trying to air out, you might benefit more fully from a full-sized ionizer, although this personal unit comes in handy in areas where you need it to be very portable, and/or you are unable to connect to AC power. (I like having both, according to the needs and circumstances of the moment.)

Not sure. We have bought this to purify the air, we have 7 cats at home. We are non smokers, so I don't really know if it would clean the air of smoke.It does a good job with cat particles.

Even good home air cleaners like these are only going to be moderately effective when used in a very smokey environment. They will, to some extent, re-radiate whatever they have been filtering. Tobacco smoke is particularly difficult to remove as it permeates all surfaces and absorbent material like clothing, upholstery, drapes etc.

i'm not sure. we use this in the shoe closet to neutralize and as well as near pet areas. smoke smell is often absorbed into fabrics of clothes or furniture, i do not believe it could help with that. perhaps an air cleaner that filters the air and circulates cleaner air in the room? we have one and it works well, especially when cooking.

I can't answer this definitively. I would think it would be strong enough to get rid of dog smell. Our car has odors of cigarette smoke and mold and this product masked the odors for a short time, but they returned after a couple of days. Sorry- I doubt this was helpful!

I don't have experience with the second hand smoke but it effectively eliminated the smell of cat urine that permeated our basement from the previous owners 4 cats. It also gives a clean ozone smell - like after a spring rain. Great product!

I honestly don't know. ...We are non-smokers. It's worth a try though! But cigarette smoke gets into eeeeverything...carpet, curtains, furniture, clothes. Thus, it may help with filtering the air a bit but depending on where the smoke smell has accumulated, it may be a losing battle.

Hello Jennifer, this product gets rid of the smell (Really! It doesn't hide the smell, it completely gets rid of it!) and deters the pup from peeing there again. It also gets rid of cat vomit stains. I love this product! It also fades urine stains on carpets and hardwood. Be sure to dilute the solution if you are using a steam machine otherwise the parts you've spot cleaned will be cleaner looking than the rest of your rugs/carpet. It's a life saver! I can invite people over and not have to worry about the smell because there is none!! And the product itself has such a mild clean scent that doesn't overpower the atmosphere

Good question. I don't smoke and don't have any visitors that smoke either, but from everything I've seen it should help a *lot*. Of course realize that the smoke particles will plate out on your floor, walls and furniture as they are pulled out of the air. I doubt you'd find any air purifier that would do a *better* job with cigarette smoke. (it would be interesting to compare it to an air filter though)

I bought this specifically because there was a smoker in the apt. Below us who smoked so much you would think the smoker lived with us. It helped a lot but there were still moments you could smell traces. And it only covered the area the box specified. I donit know if it would be as effective in a smoker's home. I also cleaned mine more often, by choice, to keep tar from building up.
