It is recommended to wash curtains, blankets, capes and removable covers for upholstered furniture using vinegar. Sofas, carpets and armchairs are cleaned using baking soda.

Surface cleaning

You need to add vinegar to the water and start washing. You need to treat not only the floor, but even the walls. For half a bucket of water, take at least 100 ml of vinegar.

Ventilation

If possible, you should ventilate the apartment for at least 12 hours. Only in this case will fresh air completely remove traces of tobacco from the room.
