Things You Will Need

  • Spray bottle
  • Bowls
  • Vinegar
  • Lemon juice
  1. Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Add in equal portions of vinegar and lemon juice for a citrus-scented air freshener. Mist around the room. The mixture is also safe to spray on carpeting.

  2. Fill a few bowls with equal parts white vinegar and lemon juice, and place them around your home.

  3. Let the bowls sit overnight to absorb the odor, and spray the freshener around the room as needed until smoke odor is no longer present.

  4. Remember to open windows to allow air to circulate, which often greatly assists in odor removal.
