I use white vinegar & water half & half put into spray bottle and spray my furniture down. (it will smell like vinegar for a few hours or so) but will start to smelling better soon.
I also sprayed my car down with it works great getting rid of the ole stinky cig smell.

That's one of the first things I noticed - two days into my quit I got into my car and couldn't believe the stink!! How did I never notice it before - I was so embarrassed that I had given non-smoking friends lifts in the car - what must they of thought??? Anyway I did all the usual - air fresheners, febreeze etc but the smell was still there. Had to resort to a professional valet - used some of the money saved by not smoking - and that made a big difference.

I got a guy in to do mine professionally. Didn't cost too much and it is lovely. Only thing is the smoke is in the walls and curtains I think cos I can still smell it sometimes when I walk in the room. Does make you think about what was going on inside you.

I had the same problem with my loveseat. It was in the same room that I smoked for years and I too noticed after doing such a great cleaning that there was still a horrible odour of smoke. It was the sofa. I just filled a bucket 1/2 way with very warm water and Ivory dish soap (very gentle soap btw..) and washed it down with a scrub brush that had fine bristles.. and it cleaned it up perfectly :)

Lolo,
You could try speading baking soda on it and letting it sit then clean it off. I know it works on pet odors give it a try. :p

Try a saucer of vinegar, sitting on a table for a few hours. It may help, vinegar does help remove odours. :)
