the truck I was assigned had obviously belonged to a smoker. Within the first week of regular febreze baths of almost all surfaces, I don't notice it anymore.

Have used the dryer sheets. Sprayed the vents.

I think the best to do is burn the truck.

My covers are in the truck. When I get back in on Sunday, they will smell just like a cigarette. I will spray them down.

I am getting the orange cleaner this week and trying it. I will wash the curtain down as well.

Companies just do not understand haw bad a truck smells after a smoker has been in it.
