I've popped open all the windows and it's got rid of the smoke but there is still a nasty smell in the house.

 

Any ideas how to get rid of it?

 

 

 

 

I'd move if I were you.

oooh that's a good tip. .

 

being a stinky smoker everything reeks

So much cheaper than fabreeze too as you don't need that much comfort... I will say bee careful spraying stairs too much as it can get a little slippery on the edges of the steps

 I have done this many times but have been put off since I got trigger happy one day and opened the wardrobe doors and gave a few squirts ....

 

wasnt till I packed to move that I found a few garments with mould on them  assumed it was from this and the fact I hadnt left the doors open for a while after spraying 

 

wasnt my things

 

so the damaged items accidently  went missing when we moved
