Cigarette smoke odor and tobacco smoke leave unpleasant odors that cling to walls, carpets, and HVAC air filters. These fine particles act like a biohazard, embedding deep into surfaces and causing strong odors that regular cleaning services can’t remove. True smoke odor removal services require thorough cleaning, advanced techniques, and specialized equipment for complete odor elimination.
Our team uses ozone generators, hydroxyl machines, and medical-grade solutions to sanitize and disinfect surfaces affected by cigar smoke, tobacco residue, and pet odors.

If you detect a persistent cigarette smoke smell that’s not eliminated by airing out and cleaning, it’s best to act quickly — smoke particles can embed in walls, upholstery, ducts and HVAC systems over time, making removal more difficult and costly.
No — while painting can help seal surfaces and air fresheners mask smells, the underlying cigarette smoke odor and tobacco smoke residues often remain.
For minor smoke smells (fresh, limited exposure), DIY methods like surface cleaning, vinegar or baking soda may help. But for heavy smoking history, cigarette smoke removal services using advanced techniques (ozone, hydroxyl, air filtration) are often necessary.
Cigarette and cigar smoke contain tar, nicotine and ultra-fine particles that penetrate drywall, HVAC systems, fabrics, carpets, and furniture. These residues cause strong odors, become biohazards and require special cleaning and deodorization rather than just standard cleaning services.
A typical professional process includes:
Verifying results by checking air quality and confirming stubborn smells are gone
When properly performed — including cleaning, deodorizing, HVAC treatment and sometimes replacing textiles — the smoke odor can be permanently removed. However, re-smoking in the space or moving in furnishings that still carry cigarette smoke smell can reintroduce odors.
