that smoke smell in the truck...

Rent a motel/hotel room and ask one of the maintenance guys to borrow the ozone generator for a bit. They use 'em to remove smoke smell from the non-smoking rooms.

 

How to remove cigarette smoke smell from car?

Isnt that the way it is for MOST things? i mean, at one point, duct tape was for, well, air ducts! now look at it.:smt115

 

Pretty much! Sometimes, one must be creative! Musicians love duct tape! There's a saying that goes, "If you can't fix it, duct it, if you can't duct it, . . . ." I think you can figure out the last two words!

 

Mean green and elbow grease is the only way. Then buy some limon pledge to wax the inside. Work better then armor all and smells nice to.Danny

 

When I worked for a salvage auto auction the dealers would use a product called OdoBan to refresh the vehicles for resale. It works. Google OdoBan

 

oooh, I *hate* armorall on the interior. Worser than satin sheets, that stuff

 

Amen there Lurch!

 

Odo Ban is good stuff. Had a friend that used it on the cat litter box when she changed the litter. If it will get out that urine smell out of plastic it should get out just about any odor.

Charcoal is what they use in Odor Eater insoles so it must work. The way Bullhaulerswife describes is definitely cheaper than wallpapering with Odor Eaters though.

Febreeze smells funny to me but I can't smell the odor I'm trying to get rid of for a while.

If you are going to continue to smoke in the truck, I think I would go with charcoal because it will continue to absorb odors until it's "full". I will be cheaper than using the chemicals all the time. Cleaning the truck really well first, even smooth surfaces, will help any of the odor eliminators work better. You will probably have to use some spray on the mattress.

Let me know what you choose and how it works. Hubby is with a trainer now and when he gets his own truck I will need to know what to do with his. I wish he wouldn't smoke in the truck because it would cut his smoking down and save money on cleaning supplies for the truck. He has tried to quit before and it didn't work. Truck driving isn't going to make it easier on him.

I have started and stopped smoking 5 or 6 times so I know how hard it can be. Good luck when you do try to quit.
