How to Remove Cigarette Smoke Buildup on Wood Furniture

When someone smokes inside, the residual odor sticks to everything, creating a yellowish film on walls, windows and furniture. Wood, even finished wood, has a tendency to absorb and hold the smell of cigarette smoke. Whether you acquired a smoke-bathed dining set or recently quit smoking and are purifying your home with a deep cleaning, you will want to clean wood surfaces in a way that breaks through and lifts the stuck-on film, while deodorizing the deep-set stench.

Instructions

    • 1

      Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Mist the wood surfaces lightly with the white vinegar, buffing with a dry, soft cloth as you go. Continue to work the surfaces several times over.

    • 2

      Place bowls of baking soda in drawers and cabinets. Sprinkle baking soda on surfaces. Cover wood furniture items loosely with plastic to create a sealed environment and place bowls of baking soda inside. Leave the baking soda to absorb odors for at least the night, or longer, if possible.

    • 3

      Remove and clean up the baking soda and any plastic coverings. Place the furniture in a well-ventilated environment to "air out" for a few hours.

    • 4

      Create a furniture polish with one part vinegar and one part lemon oil. Apply the solution to the wood and buff the surfaces to a shine, using a soft, dry cloth.
