I am a heavy smoker and want to sell cloth products on Ebay. Will this remove the odor?

It should, but I'd suggest not smoking around the products & then storing them in plastic bags stored in plastic bins with tight fitting lids. Non-smokers are just going to be peculiar about that smoke smell. Are the products washable? If so, then most buyers will probably wash the item first.

No. Unfortunately anything that is contaminated with heavy cigarette smoke will not become smoke free with this product as we sadly found out.

I have had great results with Nok-Out but I haven't had occasion to use it with smoke odor. I found some details re tobacco/smoke odor on the Nok-Out site and maybe that might help. http://www.nokout.com/Tobacco-and-Smoke-Odor.html There are suggestions listed in the main text and more in the column on the left side of the page. It might depend on a number of factors....like the type of fiber in the cloth and the intensity of the smoke. Best of luck!

I hadn't really noticed since the things I am steam cleaning have just been washed, but I would suspect that the answer would be yes. The steam is very hot and if the odor isn't much to begin with, the steam will probably get rid of it (like if you're wearing something for a second time). Hope this helps you. I am absolutely in love with the steam cleaner.

I highly doubt it. It doesn't work on cigarettes and I'm sure it won't work on mold odors. If you read my review, I bought 7 of these. Waste of money.

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.)

Works on stains but have no idea about smoke odors. Smoke odors are tough to remove from anything!

� it should help but I would scrub with bleach and repaint. Then use 0 odor to maintain.

not really. After buffing, the smell should disapate in couple hours.I find the most odor stays in the house from the applicator and rags used. put them outside.

a solution of vinegar and water sprayed lightly and rubbed into the material should help absorb the scent and eventually remove it. I don't believe it will damage it at all as it's not real leather. I've used vinegar to get smoker scents out of desks/chairs and other items, it works pretty well.

It absolutely does NOT work for cigarette smoke. The room I use it in occasionally has secondhand smoke from the neighbors and this machine will not remove the odor. At best you can hope it will pick up a little stray smoke particles if the smoke is particularly thick. You will need to buy a true HEPA air purifier with a dedicated filter with lots of activated carbon (I think charcoal is one option). This product is not true HEPA - it's just a cheap alternative since you don't need to buy disposable filters every few months.

I'm pretty sure it would, it takes out the smell off gas and tobacco for the price it's worth a try it works for me daiky with the tobacco smell

I've tried it for mild cigarette odor and it worked well. I would imagine it would work for a heavier smoke odor also.

It depends, if treated before it dries, yes. Either way, it WILL eliminate the odor.

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.

Elizabeth-This is a particulate filter, it will NOT remove ANY odor as there is no activated charcoal to remove odors. I would recommend a nuisance filter mask as a minimum. A half face respirator would be a better choice. Also, if the odors are that strong, I would look at the MSDS for the fragrances and look into better ventilation as part of the solution. The fragrance manufacturer should be able to recommend what type of respirator cartrige would be best.

It will help a lot. Nothing gets rid of that odor completely especially in an enclosed space.

Yes it does eliminate odors and has a fresh clean smell afterwards! I use it on everything! I love it!! Even removes stains on clothes! (All I ever use anymore) Lambert Kay also has a product... Lambert Kay Fresh 'n Clean Deodorizing Upholstery and Fabric Refresher for Pets, 24oz (Pack of 2) you can also purchase thru Amazon ($13.98)...But I haven't tried this product yet. Hope this helps you out!

perhaps some, but not alone - it's just very hot water - it's not going to 'remove' anything, just loosen particles with the pressure and the steam kills bacteria. A good steamer can melt things that are sticky or sweet like food, and gets in crevices that normal cleaning methods cant reach. Smoke is oily - you need to break and wash away the oil film to get odors out. depending on what you're cleaning - probably fabric - I'd recommend Oxyclen cleaners and lots of febreeze, both of which neutralize odors.
