Back to the Main FAQ How do I remove cigar Smoke?
Odor kill will make a substantial improvement.
We cannot guarantee that the cigar smoke will be totally removed. Here's some tips on how to treat it. ATX’s Odor Kill & Stain Remover works on the Pac Man Concept
The key is to get the Odor Kill solution in direct contact with the organic odor & stain molecules. The Odor kill solution of multiple enzyme systems and molecules functions just like little "pacmen," which very aggressively attack and digest the organic matter molecules. The Odor Kill enzyme/molecules must come in contact with the organic matter molecules in order to digest them.
They work in the presence of food (organic matter), oxygen and water. When the area dries, the enzymes cease functioning and cannot be regenerated with water. The mixed solution must come in contact with the cigar smoke molecules in order for it to digest them. If there is residual smoke molecules that could not be reached by Odor Kill, they will not be digested and removed.
So, it will be important to get the solution as deep as possible into the fabric and suede. Odor Kill will probably take out almost all of the odors by just spraying a damp mist solution (20 parts water and 1 part Odorkill), then hand rub it lightly into the coat, inside and out.
So that the solution comes in contacts with as much surface area as possible. If it doesn't do it completely, and then I would suggest hanging the coat out in an open room, turn on a fan towards the coat, spray the coat and then mist ATX ODOR KILL in front of the fan. Repeat in another half-hour or so.
Please remember that the wet suede may have a smell of its own. Be sure to check for water fastness in a hidden area. This is a water-based solution.
So, if small amounts of water will damage it, then do not use Odor Kill for this application. Trust this helps. You can order directly from us as described below.

How do I remove Smoke Odor Removal in a House?

ATX’s Odor Kill & Stain Remover works on the Pacmen Concept The key is to get the Odor Kill solution in direct contact with the organic odor & stain molecules.
The Odor kill solution of multiple enzyme systems and molecules functions just like little "pacmen," which very aggressively attack and digest the organic matter molecules. The Odor Kill enzyme/molecules must come in contact with the organic matter molecules in order to digest them. They work in the presence of food (organic matter), oxygen and water. When the area dries, the enzymes cease functioning and cannot be regenerated with water. Once the enzymes are stimulated by the addition of oxygen and nutrients, the enzyme population grows, using the contaminated compounds as the food source.
This process breaks down the contaminates into carbon dioxide and water. Once the contaminates are depleted, or the area dries, the enzymes are deprived of their food source, and either die or are reduced to inconsequential numbers.
Just follow the directions, which are included with each shipment. We also include detailed directions on our web site, see below.
Try to clean the obvious smoke stained areas with mild cleaner such as 409. This just cleans up the areas so those Odor kill molecules don't have to digest these smoke molecules.
Mix it 20 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle. (Don't use it in the concentrate form, it works faster mixed with water since the enzymes "wake up and go on the attack.")
Generously spray the floor, carpet, top, sides, bottom, and the entire house interior. The enzyme solution is working when it has moisture. It stops working when it dries. You need to spray the mixed solution on all surfaces of the house, since the smoke odor molecules have migrated and attached themselves to all surfaces, walls, floors, carpets, drapes, cabinets, etc.
How much to use? Depending on the size of your house. I would start with 2 quarts and perhaps you should get a gallon. Trust this info. helps. I'd be please to call you if you need additional info. Just give me your phone # and best time to call.
Yes, definitely use it in your carpet cleaner. Mix it 20/1. Spray it on and let it dry. Be sure to spray it generously and allow it to penetrate the carpet.
Let it dry and then vacuum it up.
How do I remove Smoke Odor Removal in Carpets?
Smoke Odor Removal in Carpets.
Your carpet: Try to clean the obvious smoke stained areas with a mild soap cleaner. (You have already done this--good). This just cleans up the areas so those Odor kill molecules don't have to digest as many of the smoke molecules.
Alternative A: Mix it 20 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle. (Don't use it in the concentrate form, it works faster mixed with water since the enzymes "wake up and go on the attack.") Generously spray the floor, carpet, top, sides, bottom, and the entire house interior.
The enzyme solution is working when it has moisture. It stops working when it dries. Also, you need to spray the mixed solution on all surfaces of the house, since the smoke odor molecules have migrated and attached themselves to all surfaces, walls, floors, carpets, drapes, cabinets, etc. How much to use?
Depending on the size of your house and carpet. I would start with 2 quarts and perhaps you should get a gallon. Since it is a water-based product, you don't have to wear any masks or take any special precautions Just don't put it in your eyes or drink it.
Alternative application method B: You need to rent a carpet cleaner machine (one that injects water under pressure and then sucks it back up). You should mix 10 oz to 15 oz. of ATX’s Odorkill and Stain Remover to 1 gallon of warm water in the steam cleaner (this gives about a 1 to 10 ratio of product to water). Then clean both sides, if possible, of the carpet with the cleaner.
Generously inject the solution into the carpet. It must get to the pad. Do not vacuum it up. Let it dry slowly. Close up the room so it will dry slowly. After drying, vacuum, and check for smoke odor smell. Re apply if necessary. We also have directions on our site, which you can refer to.
If ATX’s Odorkill and Stain Remover gets to the source of the problem, then this treatment will solved it. Just as a friendly suggestion, since you will have already rented the carpet cleaner machine, you could clean other carpets in your home with ATX’s Odorkill and Stain
Remover by using 2 oz. to 1 gallon of warm water (a 1 to 64 ratio). For general purposes, this is all you need.
How do I remove Smoke Odors in Wood Furniture/ chairs Sofas?
Smoke Odors in Wood Furniture/ chairs Sofas
Odor Kill should do the job for you. It loves to digest smoke odors. It is safe to apply on any water safe surface.
The key is that the mixed solution must come in contact with the smoke odors in order for it to digest them. If there is residual smoke that could not be reached by Odor Kill, it will not be digested and removed.
So, it will be important to get the solution as deep as possible into the furniture. Since this is water based, be sure water will not damage the surface. Odor kill does not include any strong chemicals and it has a neutral pH of 7.0.
It does include some mild soap. I suggest that you will have to spray a light to medium mist on the furniture, let it stay on it for 2-5 minutes, rub it off and check it.
Reapply as necessary. Use your nose to tell if it has been removed. The smoke molecules usually do not permeate very deeply into the wood.
Mix it 20 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle. The enzyme solution is working when it has moisture. It stops working when it dries. After drying check for smoke odors.

How do you remove smoke odors in a camper?
Smoke Odors in a Camper
1. It is an excellent odor remover. If the Odor Kill solution is able to get to the smoke / organic molecules it will digest them and remove them from the base materials-carpets, wall, upholstery, etc. It is not a masking agent,
2. Mix the concentrate in a clean spray bottle or garden sprayer -- it must be clean, suggest that you go to the local hardware store and secure one of each. Heavily mist all surfaces. You want the solution to reach all smoke molecules. If the Odor kill enzymes don't come in contact with the smoke molecules they cannot digest them.
3. Start with a 15 to 1 mixture that should do it. Always mix it with water, it acts as a catalyst and activates the enzymes so that they "go on the attack".
