How Tobacco Smoke Negatively Affects the Value of a Home

Lingering smoke odors create significant issues within the home.

Tobacco smoke and its associated odors disperse in the air and adhere to all surfaces. These sticky tobacco residues accumulate and continually release unpleasant odors. Heavy smoking over a long period of time causes stubborn, severe smoke odors.

The yellowish-brown, sticky substance left on all surfaces and furnishings is easy to see, smell, and feel, but it is extremely difficult to remove. Residue from tobacco often discolors painted walls, wallpaper, blinds, carpets, rugs, and other surfaces.

Successfully removing tobacco residue and odor requires skill and expertise, but it is easily within reach of well-prepared restoration contractors.

Tobacco Odor Removal Process

Here is a three-step process used for many years by professionals to remediate smoke damage:

1. Use a heat-activated odor counteractant (fog) that penetrates cavities and materials and creates a vapor barrier to prevent smoke malodors from returning.
2. Clean all surfaces with a degreaser that contains brightening and deodorizing agents.
3. Treat hard and soft surfaces with a product that is designed specifically to neutralize and deodorize tobacco odors. Apply with a sprayer or use with carpet cleaning extraction equipment.

Soft goods such as upholstery, bedding, window coverings, carpets, and rugs require special attention. Because they absorb odors so well and are often easily damaged, these items may require specialty upholstery or fabric cleaning expertise to restore. In some cases, the owner may prefer to simply replace those items.
