How to remove ingrained smells from melamine furniture
« on: December 10, 2020, 07:37:50 pm »
Hi.
If anyone can help with this it would be amazing!
I have a customer who bought a 2nd piece of furniture which was previously in the home of a heavy smoker. It stinks of cigarettes and some pretty bad  smelling air freshener.
I have given it 2 washes with sugar soap, 1 with Cif, 1 with Flash and then 2 soaks with a biological animal urine smell and stain remover. It still stinks! The fAg smell has mostly gone but the air freshener isn’t budging.
Does anyone have a magic product that will fix this issue?
Thanks!!

I would post this on the carpet cleaning section - the guys on there deal with this on a regular basis

Good luck
