Rent an ionizer an ionizer is the best solution I can offer. Small ones for cars are available from Amazon. You also might be able to rent a full sized one in your area.

A full sized one would probably get the smell out much quicker than one made for a car. They are also used to help get the smell out of flooded buildings, so check your local rental yards.

This sounds crazy but it works. Open up a bag or 2 of charcoal and leave them in the back seat for a month or maybe even less. We had a refrigerator in an apartment that someone had left full then didn't pay the power bill.

We thought we were going to have to throw it out. Even after we had it professionally cleaned it reeked! We put a bag of charcoal in it and stuck it in an empty apartment.

We had several vacancies and didn't rent that apartment for about 2 months. By then I had forgotten about the stinky refrigerator. I rented the apartment and went to do the move-in inspection.

I opened the door and realized which refrigerator it was. Not because of the smell, It was pervectly sweet smelling! It was because the charcoal was still in it!

I was embarrased but said something about doing that to keep it fresh. I know that it would work for a stinky car too. If not, go to an industrial rental company and rent an ozone machine.

Leave it running in you car for a day and you won't notice a thing.

With the car in motion, turn on the heater or a/c and run the wipers' spray cycle a few times. Make sure the vents are set to fresh air intake, not recirculate. I've seen pouches of liquid meant for this purpose sold at Auto Zone, but I like the Febreze better.It tends to kill the smell as well as cover any lingering odors.

They/fabric softeners contain very harmful chemicals that cause and/or worsen existing respiratory problems. There are actual scientific studies that have found stuff such as formaldehyde in them.

Skeptical? Keep a log of any respiratory problems you or others in the household have now, and in a few weeks, stop using all dryer inserts and fabric softeners. Continue logging your respiratory health, and see if there were any changes.

From personal experience, rashes can also occur. Anyways, I've heard that kitty litter soaks up odors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------RE: Removing Smoke Smell From a CarPost by Autumn (87) | (08/18/2006) Profile | Contact Try sprinkling carpets with Baking soda.

Afterwords sprinkle carpet fresh (Vanilla)Try to leave windows cracked at all times. I think it will be very hard to get out permanently. ~~~Good Luck~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------RE: Removing Smoke Smell From a CarPost By Amy (Guest Post) (08/18/2006) I agree with Becky.

The reason the smell is so persistent is that the smoke tar deposits itself to all the ventillation ducts and in all interior fabric. I'd start with having the car detailed, including having all upholstery steam cleaned. Not sure how you're going to dislodge the tar in the vents though.

I cleaned out a great-uncle's appartment after both he and his wife died of enphesyma, smoking in a closed appartment for 50 years... Everything was coated with a thick layer of yellow tar. When wet, it would absorb straight through the skin... It's hard to clean up.As to cleaning up the car, just think of it as cleaning a thin layer of sticky tar off every surface... and you'll get the idea.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
