I just moved and I decided not to smoke in my new place... problem is, everything still smells like smoke! OMG I had no idea it was that bad :-/
I'm so glad I made that decision. What I'm wondering is if it will go away. I guess eventually it will, but not all the way, I bet. Any suggestions?

Yes, my aunt was telling me to sprinkle tons of it into the furniture and grind it in, so to speak - then put the furniture attachment on the vacuum and it should suck the smell right out.
To answer your question, I just moved into a new place, where I decided that I wouldn't be smoking in. The place I had before has 7 years worth of smoke caked in - bed, couch, chairs, curtains, clothes everything! EWW I can't believe how bad it actually does stink, whereas I couldn't smell it before I moved.
I don't have any coal handy lol but if the baking soda doesn't work, I'm at least discovering that the smell is slowly fading away naturally.
Thanks for your input! (and I see by your name you made it to 100 posts - YAY!)

got it. so you're talking about your furnitures. i thought you're talking about the pad itself. anyway, you can also try those aerosols for furnitures. i'm afraid baking soda won't be good for certain furnitures as it may leave a stain or worse, scratches.
yeah! i wasn't expecting to reach that number thist fast. posting can really be very addicting. hehe.

I learned from my art teacher that placing coals in several places of a house can get rid of bad smells. It is good for getting rid of paint odors or other smelly chemicals so I guess it will be good for getting rid of smoke odors.
I hope this helps.
