Is there any way to get cigarrette stink out of a truck?

Lysol bathroom cleaner and fabreeze worked for me.

 

thanks for all the useful info. i am a smoker and i need to try to get the smell out or masked for prospective buyers for our truck.

 

thank you, i will try that.

 

Open all the windows and vents and drive like the wind. Okay, sorry couldn't help myself...don't know but I think you're screwed.

 

My trainer smoked (I don't) and I didn't even realize it when I first got in the truck. After I was aboard he smoked outside out of consideration, which was nice.

His system was to spray every absorbent surface (carpet, mattresses) with Febreeze and open a couple cans of this odor absorbent citrus stuff you can get at Walmart. Look for the larger ones, about 4 inches wide. Toss one of those on the floor behind each seat and with the Febreeze you will knock out the smells in very short order.

I know that when working with car dealerships they will sometimes use an 'ionization' unit.

This device is placed in the car, windows closed and allowed to run. After a few (4-8) hours the smells are neutralized. Works very well with cigarette smoke.

 

I have been in trucks where they think there is no odor. I have yet to be in a truck that does not reek from it. It gets on the steering wheel and the dash and everywhere else.

I was in the last truck for 4 months. Cleaned with bleach, oust and febreze almost 3 times a week. Still stunk when I got out of it.

 

Regretfully "masking" oder is all you can do if the nicotine residue
is visible.
We have tried everything from one "cleaner" to the next,even commercial grade steam units. The ion machines* work pretty good if left for 24-48 hrs but the oder returns in short order.
*Ion machine rental is expensive and requires down time of 24-48 hrs.

 

Smoke cigars.
