This How-To Guide explains how to get rid of tobacco smells from any surface in your home – even your pet. These techniques work for all types of tobacco odors, including cigars and cannabis.

Removing that lingering smoke smell from the air can be especially difficult because the odor can make its way into the ventilation system and even in between the walls. But with the right products and methods – and a little patience – it can be done. Below we explain how to eliminate the smell of tobacco from virtually any hard or soft surface in your home, even the ambient air. What’s the best cigarette smell remover: Neutralizer or deodorizer? The particle that gives off that strong, lingering cigarette smell (nicotine) can seep into any hard or absorbent surface such as walls, floors, ceilings, cabinets, fabrics and even the air. When it comes to eliminating any unwanted smell – tobacco or otherwise – you have to locate the source of the odor and neutralize it. Unfortunately, few products sold in stores are odor neutralizers; they simply mask or deodorize the smell. Some merely create an unpleasant mix of odors that can actually make the situation worse. Even if these products do work for a while, the cigarette smell will eventually return. To completely eliminate stubborn cigarette odors permanently, you need a product containing an odor neutralizer that’s specific to the nicotine molecule creating the odor. Purodora products use advanced odor-neutralizing technology to eliminate even the most stubborn odors on contact (including products that eliminate skunk smell). How odor neutralizers work Purodora odor neutralizers quickly eliminate all types of smoke odor problems, including cigar and cannabis. They eliminate odors completely, quickly and permanently – even if the odor has been around for months or years. As soon as the product comes into contact with the source of the odor, it molecularly binds to it to neutralize the odor. The odor instantly disappears. The only smell that’s left behind is a light pleasant scent. See the science behind this advanced odor neutralizing technology and why Purodora products are guaranteed to work! Pro Tip The key is to make sure the odor neutralizer reaches ALL of the cigarette odor To eliminate the smell completely and permanently, odor neutralizers must come into contact with the entire source of the odor. For deeply embedded odors, a few treatments may be needed for the product to reach and destroy cigarette odors completely. The right technique for removing cigarette smell in the house Having the right products is important, but they will only take you so far. For best results, you also need to use the right technique. Below are the best odor-removing techniques and products that are proven to work. Pro Tip Before tackling the cigarette odor problem in your home, look for any yellowish streaks on the walls. This might be a sign that the previous occupants smoked heavily and for a long time. A simple household cleaner may not be enough to remove these smoke streaks from walls. A degreaser will be required. Any degreaser that’s safe to use on walls should do the trick.

You may need to repeat the treatment over several days. Don’t lose hope. Within a few days, Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces will reach the entire source of the odor and completely eliminate it. Eliminating cigarette odors in a house WITH a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Required materials: Spray bottle, large bucket Recommended product: Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces How to use Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces First, decide if the filters are worth saving and cleaning. If they are very old or very dirty, you’re probably better off replacing them. If you decide to get new filters: Spray the new filters with 1 to ½ cup (30 to 120 ml) of Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces diluted in 1 gallon (4 L) of water. Install filters while still wet with product and run the system continuously to distribute the product through the system ducts. Re-spray the filters several times to completely neutralize the odor in the air ducts and ambient air. If you decide to clean your existing filters: Soak the dirty filters in a bucket for 1 hour in 2 Tbsp to ½ cup (30 to 120 ml) of Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces diluted in 1 gallon (4 L) of water. Make sure the filters are completely submerged. Pro Tip Always use a water-based odor neutralizer to clean filters in a ventilation system, air exchanger or air conditioning system Using an alcohol-based odor neutralizer could pose a fire risk if the filters are located close to the system’s motor. Purodora Smoke Odor Neutralizer for Hard Surfaces is water-based, so there’s no risk of fire.

How to Get Rid of Cat or Dog Pee Smell on Sofa
It’s frustrating whenever a dog or cat pees somewhere they’re not supposed to – like on the sofa. Here’s how you can salvage your sofa and your relationship with your pet. Our top animal expert shares her top tips for eliminating pet urine smells from fabric or leather sofa, quickly, safely and for good. Tip #1 It’s all about the ingredients, not the effort. We get calls from frustrated pet owners all the time, saying they tried every homemade recipe known to humankind, but with little results. Only products containing an odor neutralizer specific to the odor-causing molecule in animal urine can permanently destroy the smell of urine completely. Other products will only work temporarily, or simply mask the urine odor with scent that will eventually dissipate, leaving the pee smell behind. Tip #2 Treat the inside of the cushion. Gravity works on urine, too. To get rid of dog or cat pee smells from a sofa, you need to treat not only the surface of the cushions, but the inside padding as well. You will need to inject the odor neutralizer into the cushions with a needle and syringe. (If you’ve never tried this odor-removing technique before, you’ll be amazed by how easy and effective it is. Just a few squirts and no more pee smell!) Tip #3 Avoid water-based products. Injecting a water-based product such as an enzyme or bacteria-based product into a thick cushion is never a good idea because it can cause the cushion to mold. Instead, use an alcohol-based product that evaporates quickly to avoid the risk of mold or mildew. We recommend using Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer. Here’s why: Specifically designed to neutralize the smell of any animal urine permanentlyEasy to use; just spray and walk awayAlcohol-based: works on contact and evaporates quickly; no risk of mildewingWon’t discolor fabricsSafe for people and petsLeaves behind a fresh citrus scent Tip #4 Apply odor neutralizer locally. One of the most common mistakes we hear from pet owners is that they sprayed or injected the product all over the sofa. It’s extremely rare for a couch to be completely covered in urine. When treating with a product like Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer, there’s no need to treat the entire couch, only the source of the odor. Eliminating pet urine odor from a fabric sofa – step-by-step instructions Step 1. Use your nose to locate the exact location of the urine odor. Step 2. Make a circle with a string around the affected area. Make the circumference of the circle 4 to 5 inches larger than you think it needs to be to give you more room to maneuver. Sometimes the urine molecules will spread beyond the visible pee stain. Step 3. Inject the product at 1-inch (2.5-cm) intervals. Start at the outer edge of the circle and work your way toward the center. Pro Tip When injecting the product into the cushions, make complete circles as you work your way into the center. That way you won’t have to worry about missing a spot. The odor neutralizer has to reach all of the odor-causing urine molecules to completely destroy all of the urine odor. Step 4. Spray Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer (at a distance of 10 cm) over the entire affected surface area of the couch. Step 5. Air out the room and allow the product to work. No rinsing or drying required. Bonus tip: You can also follow these same steps if your cat or dog pees on your fabric car seats. Pro Tip What to do if Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer leaves a dark ring on fabrics Alcohol-based products like Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer can leave a dark ring on some colored fabrics where the dye has not set properly. No need to worry! Simply rub the fabric with a damp cloth and the stain will disappear immediately. Eliminating pet urine odor from a leather sofa – step-by-step instructions Follow the above instructions, but for step 3, inject the product through the seams only to avoid damaging the leather. Do your best to inject the product as deep into the cushion as possible. Bonus tip: You can also follow these steps if your cat or dog pees on your leather car seats. 5 good things to know about removing urine odors from leather sofas Before starting any treatment, make sure the sofa is indeed genuine leather and not synthetic leather. Alcohol-based products may cause imitation leather to discolor.If you’re certain the sofa is leather, always test the product on a non-visible area first to ensure it doesn’t discolor. Never spray products directly on leather. Instead, apply with a clean cloth and rub gently. Then remove the product after the indicated time with a clean, wet cloth.Leather is absorbent. Urine will soak through the leather surface and into the cushion.Leather absorbs odors more deeply than fabric, so several treatments may be needed to completely get rid of the pee smell. Removing cat or dog pee smell from floors Urine can sometimes leak through the sofa (either through the cushion or down the side) and onto the floor below. If you can still detect a pee smell after treating your sofa with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer, move the sofa aside and take a sniff of the floor below. If you can smell urine, simply spray the floor with Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer. If the floor is made of wood or laminate planks, use a spout bottle to squirt the product between the boards so that it can reach the urine underneath. Because the product is alcohol-based, it will neutralize the odor-causing molecules on contact and then quickly evaporate without causing the boards to swell or warp. Pee happens. Be ready. Rare is the dog or cat that has never had an accident. Get Purodora Urine Odor Neutralizer today so that if your pet suddenly decides to do his business on the sofa, you’ll be able to act right away. You and your family will be glad you did!Get rid of any odor problem We want you to be completely satisfied with our products.

Quatre surfaces dans la maison qui absorbent les odeurs et comment les traiter
Lorsque l’on rencontre un problème d’odeurs, la première chose à faire est de déterminer au moyen de son odorat d’où provient la source de l’odeur. Même si l’odeur est présente dans l’air ambiant, la source de celle-ci se trouve quelque part. Pour neutraliser efficacement cette mauvaise odeur, il est important de traiter la source avec un neutralisant d’odeurs. Plusieurs surfaces dans la maison retiennent les odeurs et elles ne se traitent pas toutes de la même façon. Voici quatre surfaces dans la maison qui retiennent les odeurs et comment les traiter pour que l’odeur disparaisse. Comment enlever les odeurs sur de la céramique Plusieurs personnes pensent qu’un plancher de céramique n’absorbe pas les mauvaises odeurs. Ce n’est pas totalement faux puisque ce n’est pas le carreau de céramique qui va retenir les odeurs, mais plutôt les joints. En effet, le coulis est une surface poreuse qui absorbe les liquides (comme l’urine animale) et qui retient les mauvaises odeurs. Si vous souhaitez éliminer une odeur sur un plancher de céramique, il vous faut insérer le produit (dans le cas de l’urine, le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine) directement sur le joint de céramique afin que le produit suive le même chemin que l’urine. Dans le but d’appliquer la bonne quantité de produit, il est aussi conseillé de faire cette application avec une bouteille à bec verseur (voir l’image). Cela permet de déposer juste assez de produit. Comment enlever l’odeur sur un plancher de bois Une odeur sur un plancher de bois est particulière à traiter, car il faut savoir que l’odeur n’a pas été absorbée par les planches elles-mêmes, car celles-ci sont vernies. Le liquide va plutôt s’infiltrer entre les planches et se retrouver sous le plancher. C’est là d’où provient la mauvaise odeur, c’est donc cet endroit qu’il faut traiter (la source). Comme pour le plancher de céramique, il faut insérer le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine (dans le cas d’une odeur d’urine) entre les planches du plancher de bois à l’aide d’une bouteille à bec verseur. Ainsi, le produit suivra le même chemin que l’urine et ira neutraliser la mauvaise odeur. Prenez garde de ne pas faire cette technique avec un produit à base d’eau puisque cela peut faire gonfler le plancher. Le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine est un produit à base d’alcool, il s’évapore rapidement et par conséquent, il ne fera pas gonfler le bois. Comment éliminer les odeurs sur du béton Saviez-vous que le béton est une surface qui absorbe les odeurs? Tout comme pour le coulis de céramique, le béton est une matière poreuse qui absorbe les liquides et retient les mauvaises odeurs. Le traitement de celui-ci contre une mauvaise odeur est simple, il suffit de vaporiser le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine en surface et de laisser sécher naturellement. Il faut comprendre que le liquide suit la loi de la gravité ce qui fait qu’il s’enfonce plus profondément dans le béton au fil du temps. Une seconde application du produit peut donc être nécessaire si l’odeur persiste après le premier traitement. Comment neutraliser les odeurs sur du cuir Nous savons que les sofas ou les chaises en tissus absorbent les odeurs, il faut savoir qu’il en est de même pour les surfaces en cuir. Bien souvent, le liquide va traverser le cuir et s’infiltrer dans le coussin et c’est là qu’il faut aller faire le traitement pour enlever la mauvaise odeur. Qu’il s’agisse d’une odeur de cigarette ou d’une odeur d’urine, le traitement est similaire. Il faut insérer le produit (le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine dans le cas de l’urine et le Neutralisant d’odeurs de fumée pour tissus dans le cas de la cigarette) dans le coussin à l’aide d’une seringue et d’une aiguille. Par la suite, il faut frotter doucement la surface à l’aide d’un linge propre qu’on aura préalablement vaporisé avec le produit à utiliser pour traiter la surface du cuir.Toutefois, il faut faire attention lors du traitement, et ce, pour plusieurs raisons. Lorsqu’on fait le traitement de neutralisation d’odeurs, il faut s’assurer que la surface soit en cuir véritable et non en simili-cuir. Comme le simili-cuir contient beaucoup de teinture, l’application d’un produit à base d’alcool pourrait créer une décoloration. Il faut donc faire un test sur une surface non visible avant de faire le traitement complet. De plus, lorsqu’on veut insérer le produit dans le coussin, on ne peut pas piquer au moyen d’une seringue et d’une aiguille n’importe où, car cela peut créer de petits trous. Il faut donc insérer le produit par les coutures du coussin ou dans des endroits moins visibles.
Sofa malodorant : les 4 odeurs les plus fréquentes et comment les éliminer
Le salon est probablement l’une des pièces où nous passons le plus de temps dans notre maison. Il est le lieu de rencontre idéal pour notre famille et nos amis et il représente un endroit de détente idéal après une longue journée. Toutefois, il est difficile de se détendre et de passer du bon temps dans cette pièce lorsque le sofa dégage des odeurs indésirables. Voici quelques odeurs fréquentes que l’on retrouve sur un divan et comment les enlever de manière permanente. Enlever l’odeur d’urine animale Si vous avez un chat ou un chien à la maison, il se peut que celui-ci se soit échappé une fois ou deux sur votre divan. Avant d’enlever l'odeur d'urine de chat ou de chien, il est important de comprendre que l’urine s’est infiltrée dans le coussin. Pour éliminer complètement l’odeur, il faut donc insérer le produit pour qu’il aille toucher à la source de l’odeur. Le produit à utiliser pour enlever l’odeur d’urine animale est le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine. Il s’agit d’un neutralisant à base d’alcool conçu spécifiquement pour éliminer complètement l’odeur d’urine, d’excréments ou de vomissure. Si vous appliquez le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine sur une fibre colorée dont la couleur n’est pas bien fixée au tissu, il peut laisser un cerne plus foncé. Prendre un linge humide et frotter le cerne, celui-ci disparaîtra aussitôt! Pour neutraliser l’odeur sur un divan en tissus, commencer par délimiter la zone atteinte par l’odeur à l’aide d’une petite corde. Par la suite, insérer 3 à 5 ml du Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine (avec une seringue et une aiguille) à l’intérieur de ce cercle en commençant de l’extérieur vers l’intérieur et en laissant un espace de 1 pouce entre chaque insertion (voir image ci-bas). Cette technique permet d’appliquer le produit sur toute la surface de la source. Par la suite, vaporiser le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine sur la surface et laisser agir. Comme ce produit est fait à base d’alcool, il ne risque pas d’abîmer votre sofa en créant des taches ou de la moisissure comme le ferait un produit à base d’eau. De plus, votre sofa sèchera très rapidement. Si votre divan est en cuir, la technique est similaire, mais au lieu d’injecter le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine directement sur le cuir, nous vous conseillons de passer par les coutures afin de ne pas créer de trous dans le cuir. Pour la dernière partie du traitement, au lieu de vaporiser le Neutralisant d’odeurs d’urine directement sur la surface, nous vous conseillons d’appliquer le produit sur un linge et d’aller frotter la surface avec ce linge. Essuyer ensuite avec un linge sec. Il est aussi important de faire un test sur un endroit non visible afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y ait pas de décoloration. Éliminer l’odeur de cigarette Si vous avez acheté un divan usagé, il se peut que celui-ci dégage une odeur de cigarette si les anciens propriétaires fumaient. Pour enlever l'odeur de cigarette définitivement, nous vous conseillons l’utilisation de notre Neutralisant d’odeurs de fumée pour tissus, qui est conçu pour neutraliser l’odeur de cigarette. Pour les divans en tissus, il vous suffit de vaporiser le Neutralisant d’odeurs de fumée pour tissus sur le tissu et de laisser agir. Si l’odeur de tabac est forte, il se peut que les coussins aient absorbé cette odeur. Comme pour l’odeur d’urine, nous vous suggérons d’insérer le Neutralisant d’odeurs de fumée pour tissus à l’aide d’une seringue et d’une aiguille dans les coussins et de vaporiser à nouveau le produit sur le dessus. Il est important de bien pousser dans les coussins avec vos mains après le traitement afin que le produit pénètre profondément dans le divan. Pour neutraliser une odeur de tabac sur un divan en cuir, il faut comprendre que le cuir est une matière qui absorbe les odeurs. Il vous faut vaporiser le Neutralisant d’odeurs de fumée pour tissus sur un linge et aller frotter la surface avec ce dernier. Par la suite, essuyer le dessus du cuir traité avec un linge sec. Si l’odeur de cigarette persiste, il vous faudra insérer le produit à l’aide d’une seringue et d’une aiguille par les coutures du divan afin d’injecter le produit en profondeur. Enlever l’odeur de transpiration Si vous avez des adolescents à la maison, il se peut que ceux-ci mettent leurs pieds sur le coussin et qu’à force de le faire, l’endroit où ils posent leurs pieds dégage une odeur de transpiration. Pour éliminer l'odeur de transpiration, sans abîmer votre divan ou créer de tache, nous vous conseillons d'utiliser le Neutralisant d’odeurs de transpiration. Tout comme pour l’odeur de cigarette, il vous faut vaporiser le produit sur l’endroit d’où provient l’odeur et laisser agir le produit. Si l’odeur se trouve sur un divan de cuir, il suffit de frotter la surface avec un linge préalablement vaporiser avec du Neutralisant d’odeurs de transpiration et d’ensuite essuyer avec un linge sec. Éliminer les odeurs de chien Si vous avez un chien à la maison et que celui-ci se couche souvent sur le divan, il se peut que ce dernier dégage une odeur de chien au bout d’un certain temps. Le produit à utiliser pour éliminer cette odeur est le Neutralisant d’odeurs de literie pour animaux. Il s’agit d’un neutralisant d’odeurs conçu pour enlever l’odeur de chien sur des tissus. Comme ce produit est à base d'eau, nous vous conseillons de toujours faire un test sur une petite surface non visible avant de vaporiser le produit sur toute la surface. Pour les divans en tissus, vaporiser simplement le produit directement sur la surface dégageant une odeur de chien et laisser agir le produit. Si l’odeur provient plutôt d’un divan en cuir, vaporiser le Neutralisant d’odeurs de literie pour animaux sur un linge propre et frotter doucement la zone atteinte par l’odeur avec celui-ci. Essuyer ensuite avec un linge propre. Contrairement à un désodorisant qui masque les odeurs, notre produit les élimine à la source afin qu’elles disparaissent complètement. Vous pouvez utilisez le Neutralisant d’odeurs de literie pour animaux à tout moment, même si votre divan ne dégage pas d'odeurs indésirables. Sa bonne odeur de genévrier et poire rafraîchira la maison, créant un milieu de vie harmonieux!
