getting smoke smell out of a car...

[Orange Vert]

Okay so I have 2 weeks to get a car because fall skrool semester starts. I found a 94 5.0 with under 100k miles owned by an older lady. It is in excellent mechanical, interior, exterior condition and priced uber cheap. The only problem is it reaks of cigarette smoke. I was getting sick just driving it around for 10 minutes.

Is there a way to clean all the smell out or em I best to find another stang?

Won't be easy. You can try shampooing the seats (if they aren't leather) and replacing the carpet, but even then it will still be in the headliner and such. Good luck.

Will do

You can place a bowl of vinegar in the back and front, for about a week, (recommend not driving it). The vinegar does smell pretty sour. but it also is good for absorbing the smoke smell.. The other trick that's helped me, is just Febreeze it daily to the smell is gone.

This......Or, buy the car, roll down the windows, and do a fat nasty burnout. Now, the interior smells like tire smoke, not cigarette smoke.....:burnout:

constantly driving it with the windows down. oh and baking soda would absorb the smell as well

Yep, something like this would get the smell out completely in less than a couple hours

Might call some local haz mat companies in your area and see if they would let you use their machine

From what I hear, Febreeze is excellent at absorbing and eliminating that smell. I'm in the process of testing it out on a car at work. Your thread just reminded me to go check on the results from the first spraying. :lol1:

try cleaning up the interior. Drive with the windows down, it'll eventually go away.

You will also need to get to your cabin air filter and clean it thoroughly. As other have suggested. Keep Febreeze handy

I've heard an open container of coffee grounds works as well. An ozone machine would work good. My stepmom had one in her PT Loser and it would kill any smell.

I have heard a bunch of waded up newspaper works great. Could give that a try plus some febreeze to follow it up.

I believe evntually it can go away with the advice above. Keep the windows open as much as possible.
