Did you start cleaning?

[Ciara]

My juice came today and now I'm set until I can stock up some more next payday!

I tossed out the butts I had leftover from the last few days without any juice and now I'm on a cleaning rampage! I'm washing everything in sight, even clothes in my drawers and closet that I haven't worn in a long time (I figure the cig stink is on them just the same), all the towels, bed linens, etc. Since I've always smoked in my car, I'm going to tackle that over the weekend I'm scared to find out the carp that's in the cleaning water!

Anybody else go on a cleaning frenzy? If so, what tips and solutions do you have for getting the smell out?

There are many tips on the site if you search it on cleaning...

It's about what you'd expect. Febreeze, Woolite, Ozium, Ozone Generators, Vinegar/water solutions...

Thanks! I didn't know there was a "cleaning" section here and will definitely check that out!

There isn't so much an official section (that I'm aware of) but here's a great search to get you going:

Febreeze is a truly awesome product. My mom used it liberally after a house fire and managed to save quite a bit that wouldn't have been usable again otherwise.

Thank you all for great ideas! And yes, Febreze is fantastic!

I'm mostly wondering if you found yourselves tearing through the house trying to make everything clean and fresh once you started vaping instead of smoking? Like a brand new start...woohoo!

The surfaces in my home have been lovingly infused with tobacco smoke for 20 years. Nothing short of a thermonuclear explosion would do...

I just cleaned my carpets, made a big difference

Cleaned the car... smelling good now ;-)

...and my clothes smell so much better...

Yay, fresh and clean all over again!

I honestly didn't go on a cleaning spree. Only have two reasons really.

1) I never smoked in my house. (I do vape in my computer room though)

2) My car is brand new so it still has the new car smell. Only smoked in it for a couple of weeks before I started vaping, and I had a sealable ashtray to cover the butts, and the windows were down.

I guess I got lucky with the way I did it, but had I been in your shoes, I think I'd have went scrub-a-dub- crazy

I know what you mean. I smoked in my house in San Francisco for 26 years and it took my patient, nonsmoking husband weeks to clean and paint it before we sold it. He did it but he was not amused. I only smoked in this house for 3 years and pretty much confined myself to one room so bad as it is, it's an improvement. I'm pretty sure that I'll be on m own with this cleaning job, though.

Ozium is GREAT stuff!

Nope, thankfully didn't have to clean more than my car and febreeze took care of that. I didn't smoke in the house as hubby has bronchial problems, it was just easier (and I smoked less in the winter) to go out.
