Removing Cigarette Smell from a Sofa

Removing cigarette smell from a sofa is essentially impossible without the help of a professional company that specializes in in-home sofa and carpet cleaning.

If you search Google, you'll find endless solutions and methods that not only fail to solve the problem, but in some cases actually make things worse, and in extreme cases cause irreversible damage to your upholstery.

Did you rent a new apartment where previous tenants used to smoke, or maybe you quit smoking at some point and now the cigarette smell trapped in your sofas is bothering you?

Don't lose hope — there's a solution!

A professional company will solve the problem in a few simple steps. First, photograph your sofas and send the pictures to the cleaning company by email or WhatsApp to get a price quote.

Of course, when getting your quote, make sure to also ask specifically for a price for removing smoke and cigarette odor from the sofas.

Of course, it's also important to set expectations with the cleaning company beforehand and ask whether they can actually help solve this particular problem, since there are professionals who simply can't handle issues like this.

The next step is scheduling a day and time for the cleaning.

On the scheduled day and time, the cleaning team will arrive to begin the job. First, we match the cleaning product to the type of fabric in your home; next, we spray the entire sofa with a professional sofa-cleaning product and let it break down the stains for about fifteen minutes.

Next, we begin the cleaning process itself, which involves two actions performed simultaneously: on one side we inject boiling water at high air pressure along with cleaning products, and on the other side we extract it all back out, along with the dirt absorbed deep into the sofa's fibers.

For cases that need special treatment for removing cigarette smell from a sofa, we repeat the cleaning step several times.

To ensure a better result, we also spray on a professional product whose main purpose is to neutralize unpleasant odors by breaking down bacteria.

At the end of the cleaning process, the sofa needs to be left to dry fully for 12 to 24 hours.

How much does removing cigarette smell from a sofa cost? We don't charge extra for removing cigarette odor from sofas beyond the cost of the odor-neutralizing treatment itself, which averages between 50 and 70 shekels for an entire five-seat living room set.

Does a professional treatment solve the problem 100%? In most cases, yes, but not always — there are extreme cases where we only achieve an 80 or 90 percent result, and that's something worth keeping in mind, since we're dealing with odor rather than a visible stain, so we can't guarantee a 100% result.
