What Causes Lingering Smoke Odors?

Smoke odors often linger because tiny soot and tobacco particles cling to drywall, insulation, upholstery, and HVAC systems. Moisture from water damage or humidity can trap these odor-causing contaminants, making regular cleaning or air fresheners ineffective.

I cannot thank the Rehab Restoration team enough for their professionalism, punctuality and dedication towards completion of their tasks from start to finish. From the time that my insurance company introduced me to the folks regarding water leakage in the house, until the project got completed, they have been at their absolute best! They were also more than happy to work around my schedule in order to accommodate me. They even did a final walkthrough with me thereby making sure that everything looked perfect! Lynnell, Asher, Mac, Justine and Jason are phenomenal but the ones I closely interacted with during the entire process were mainly Lynnell, Asher and Justine. They were absolutely amazing and I want to thank each one of them personally for their sincerity and hard work. I will definitely recommend them to others.

We had a sudden water issue happen the night before we were to leave for vacation. Not only did Lynnell Brownlow answer the phone after 5 pm, but within hours one of her amazing team, Asher B. arrived with William, checked and verified the source, inspected my whole house to make sure there were no other probable or possible leaks, neatly cut and removed all the damaged sheetrock in three rooms without demolishing my crown molding! They had power fans set up and running to dry out the moisture and even came back and checked the status of the house the following day. I was able to leave for vacation knowing Lynnell, Asher and my Rehab team had it handled. Their communication from the start and throughout was such a relief and removed any anxiety!
Additionally Asher will be meeting me when the insurance adjuster arrives to help me clearly communicate the situation.
I am blown away by the care, competence, conscientiousness and professionalism of Lynnell, Asher, William and Rehab Restoration. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

After discovering a burst pipe under our home, I contacted Rehab Restoration and have been very pleased with their work. Tiffany took over mitigation and worked seamlessly with my plumber to get the cleanup out of the way so we can move forward with the renovation portion. I would highly recommend working with this team for any home repair needs.

Rehab Restoration was contacted after a pipe burst causing extensive damage to my ceiling and hardwood floors. I was very impressed with how quickly the team came out and performed a thorough walk-through and provide an estimate to my Insurance company to get the ball rolling. Stephen Wahrer, the Team Lead was very responsive and patient with me...I had MANY questions and was quite concern due to the inconvenience the water damage caused. Stephen was always so polite, kind and understanding of me being frustrated at times. The work was done in a timely manner and I couldn't be more pleased with how the work the team performed turned out! I would highly recommend Rehab Restoration!

Without a doubt, the best people I’ve ever had work on our house. Mac and his team were incredibly thorough. We suffered a major loss with our home and got screwed by State Farm (you’ve been warned).
A little long for a review, but they’re good folks. Not State Farm, Rehab Restoration. State Farm sucks.

Our home and lives were forever changed when a massive tree crushed our house during Hurricane Helene. We are lucky to be alive. But also lucky to have found Rehab. An actual person answered the phone and came to our house one day after the storm. They have been, not only responsive, but kind and compassionate. They have made us feel hopeful as they work with us on our journey back home.Thank you guys so much for having hearts!

Understanding Cigarette Smoke Odor

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.

Professional Cigarette Smoke Removal

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. With advanced techniques and specialized equipment, we neutralize stubborn smells and restore fresh air throughout your home or apartment.

Eliminating Cigarette Smoke Smell

We finish every project with detailed smoke damage cleaning, air filter replacement, and full-home sanitize treatment. The result is lasting odor elimination and a space free from unpleasant odors, supported by our expertise in fire damage restoration.

FAQs About Smoke Odor Removal

How soon should I call a professional when I notice cigarette smoke odor?

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.

Will simply repainting or using air fresheners remove cigarette smoke odor?

No — while painting can help seal surfaces and air fresheners mask smells, the underlying cigarette smoke odor and tobacco smoke residues often remain.

Can I remove the smell myself or do I need professional removal services?

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.

What makes cigarette smoke so hard to eliminate compared to other odors?

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.

What does the professional cigarette smoke removal process involve?

A typical professional process includes:

  • Inspecting and identifying impacted areas (walls, HVAC, upholstery)
  • Containing and cleaning all surfaces with disinfectants and deeply penetrating cleaners
  • Using specialized equipment (ozone generators, hydroxyl machines, HEPA air filters) for odor elimination
  • Replacing or cleaning filters in HVAC systems

Verifying results by checking air quality and confirming stubborn smells are gone

Will the smell ever come back after a professional deodorization?

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.
