Got a clean to do and one of the rooms stinks of smoke as a result of a heavy smoker, but not actual smoke damage from a fire. The rooms empty apart from the bed and blinds.
Is there any tidy products that can be used, or a good de oderiser,
Cheers

Do you have a fogger ? If not you will need one, you can get a cheap disco smoke m/c that you can use as a thermal and use something like chemspec cherry. Ozone will do it as well

depends , have you been ordered to totally remove the smell? ,if so tread carefully . i once found the only way forward was to have the wallpaper stripped to get rid of the "tang" of smoke . ceilings hold the smell too ,artex

Hi
A fogger will do it, the fog with penetrate all porus surfaces but it can be a pricey option. Mine just cost me £225 inc solution.
You could go down the manual route of sugar soap on all the walls, and wipe down all surfaces with a strong degreasing solution, carpet if any will also have to be cleaned a deodourized.

google clover chemicals they do a cracking product called " deodoriser concentrate"

Sugar soap can be obtained at your local DIY store if your chemical supplier does not have any. Cost around £3.00

A disco smoke machine can be bought from e bay for £20 and will do the job for a starter. Deodorisers either work or not but mostly not - the reason for fogging the room is to get the chemical into every porous surface, every crack, textile etc. Look at this link as an example to see how many there are from just one maker

For smoke I'd use the thermo 55 cherry but I am no expert - I've used prochem ones for different uses also but the one product does all dos'nt exist.
You can always deodorise cars etc as and add on

Hi
As stated you can sugar soap at any dit store.
for degreasing I have used brillo degreaser with excellent results it's around £12 for 5 ltrs.
Something else I have having amazing results with concerning grease is Bio-Logical washing liquid (persil, ariel etc) I used it to clean the van today and it just shift grease and road grime it seems, plus it comes scented.
£3 for a small bottle of concentrate from superstores.
