Whats the best way to eliminate the smoke smell. Took me two days to clean the truck and I've notice even after cleaning the truck hardcore every single corner with degreaser, than water with soap and than wiping armorall. Cleaning the carpet with tuff stuff and vacuum it. Clean the seats, sofa bed, Changed the A/C filter and putting little trees. I still get a smell once in while, not strong but it bothers me.
What suggestion that can help, please let me know.

Look at a product from Eats Oil called Superfresh. That will get rid of smoke smell. Spray everything. Friend of mine used it on a smoke damaged house when the neighboring house burned and smell was gone in 3 hours.

White vinegar in a bowl over night.. a few nights maybe required depending on how strong the sctench is
mattbnr Thanks this. -
Sounds like the smoke smell is in the foam. Taking to seats out and washing them could help. Getting a new mattress might help a bunch. You can try the things listed above, but smoke gets into everything. All the foam and insulation in the truck acts like a filter. Unless you replace most all of the soft stuff you will always have a bit of that old smole smell.

Yep, if this doesn't work, something's really wrong. I've gotten rid of some rancid smells using this method; I usually use a pitcher not a bowl and at least 1/3 gallon of vinegar (depending on circumstances).

Did you empty the ashtray?

Keep cleaning it,eventually the smell will disappear.Until then spray Lysol around the areas.

Thanks guys, im going to try the vinegar trick. I just took the seat off and will be cleaning them again. My bud told me the same, to keep it clean and put the heater on for 30 min a couple of days and it will help get the smell out.
The truck only has 400k and man it was bad (smell wise), now the truck is super clean, but the smell is light but i want to get rid of it eventually. -
You will never get 100% rid of the smell if you don't strip it down to just metal and drop it in acid. The smoke has a way of finding the most ridiculous place to stick on.

Have you cleaned the venting? Changes the filters? I'd use the vinegar trick and run the heat or air on recirculate so it can clear out the vents too. Maybe some Lysol sprayed in the vents. Baking soda boxes help too.
