Thread: Tips for Neutralizing Cigarette Smoke Odors on Costumes

I recently received a custom-order that smelled like cigarette smoke. After probing the Twitterverse for answers, Bhuzzer Anjela gave me some awesome and effective tips that helped me to completely defunktify my costume. It's a miracle!

Instead of keeping these helpful how-to's to myself, I got her permission to blog them. Since this topic comes up fairly often around here, I thought I'd post here, as well. Enjoy! And thanks again, Anjela!

As a smoker myself, I really appreciate this thread. Even though my costumes and my cigarettes are in different rooms, I know there is a "bleed over" and the more tips I have to correct that, the better.

Of course, the obvious is to stop smoking, isn't it?,r:;

Delete, I misread. Hhahahaha!!

This would definitely be the obvious answer ..l;,

But these tips were so helpful for me, and I'm highly sensitive to the smell of smoke. So if my nose gave them the thumbs-up, hopefully they'll work for you, too!

I bet these tips probably work great for those of you who dance in hookah bars, too ,r:;

great tips, but I would add fabreze spray- works great & my husband has had to de-oderize entire apartmnts. great stuff.
