My husband and I found our dream house except the previous owners were chain smokers. I really couldn't believe that odors and 3rd hand smoke is what was going to stop us from owning the house of our dreams. Thank goodness after doing some internet research I found Room Shocker. It's and odor eliminator, but it's different because it attacks odors at the source. It works like a fumigation bomb, but it for odors and it's also environmentally friendly.

My experience in ridding this, or any smell, includes washing down the ceiling, light fixtures and cabinets as well as changing air filters and cleaning the duct work. I hope it helps.

I've always heard that if you put out fresh coffee beans they absorb odors (such as smoke), it is worth trying!

What type of actions can a property manager take to rid an apartment of stale smoke smells? Let's assume that the PM has already, changed carpet, repainted walls, etc.
