Steps to Eliminate Smoke Odors

It's no secret that people smoke and that over time these odors get embedded in the soft materials in their homes. Unfortunately, those smells also get into the paint on their walls.

Opening windows is not enough to remove the pervasive (dangerous) and the overwhelming stench of smoke.
