How can i get the cigarette smell out of the house?
my in-laws were living with us for the past year. they are moving out this weekend and i want to get the nasty cigarette smoke smell/stains out of the house. they were living here before i got here, so they smoked inside. what products can i use to get the smell out? i need to wash the nicotene stains out of the walls. any suggestions?

This is going to sound silly, but it has worked for me in the past, take a glass bowl and fill it with one part white * vinegar and one part water, soak disk towels in the mixture and then ring them out until it is almost dry. Now this is the part that sounds silly, go in each room and twrill them above your head for as long as you can, also put one over your vents or a circulating fan overnight if possible. Again, they should not be dripping wet when you do this.
When my great aunt told me to try this, I thought she was ready for the funny farm, but then I tried it and I have to tell you it really worked.
*One warning though, only use white vinegar. Apple Cider and the other just do not work as well, and if you don't ring your towels out good enough staining can be a problem.
