So I went and peeped a house tonight, fairly decent size but the whole thing has obviously been heavily smoked in. Not cigarettes,but probably cigars or pipe tobacco. The place will probably be in for a new kitchen, all new flooring (bye bye carpet), and all new paint. There is some natural exposed wood/beams that I would like to leave unpainted, but I fear they may have soaked up a ton of the smoke too.
To pose my question, has anyone tried to eradicate smoke from a house? I see on the auditor site that this dude may have lived there since the mid to early 1990s. What are the techniques and likelyhood of completely wiping out the smell?
