Getting rid of cigarette smell in tweed?

[Ninehostages]

Fabreze is fairly effective as a short term solution but it only lasts a day or two. It's smell is tolerable.

Maybe vinegar? Have been using it, in a bowl, under smelly clothes before...

This I find interesting. How do you do this? Just hang the jacket over a bowl full of vinegar?

I've basically soaked it in fabreeze, hung it out outside when ever it's sunny, sent it to the dry cleaners, and the rest of the time I keep in in an enclosed container with a bow-full of powder that is designed to remove the stink from trash bins. It is much, much better than when I got it, but the smell lingers.

Earlier today I added a cedar shoe tree to the container. I do need to get some odour-reducing cat litter and try that as well, but I'm open to almost anything.

Yeah in a large plastic sack with the clothes, hanging with the opening downwards (like a tent), and the bowl under so as the fumes can reach the clothes. Then leave it for a weekend or so, before taking it out to breathe. With all You've been trying, i cant guarantee for success. But it doesn't harm...

My wife inherited a lightly used but heavily smoked-in car. We tried all of the above chemical fixes as well a soaking the interior in sprays specifically made to eliminate smoke smell. Fresh air did it in the end ... lots of it. It took about a year.

I quite agree. A lot of fresh air 24/7 combined with a lot of time, months if not years, patience and luck might do the trick.

The car dealership I worked for used an ozone generator to clear smoke smell from used cars. Usually overnight. I’m not sure how one finds one outside the industry. Perhaps a company that fire remediation for insurance companies? We had friends who had a fire. A company whisked the contents of the house off for treatment. Perhaps they have an ozone tank/room they use.

If You can solder, theres loads of Ionizisers to be made. A stack of diodes and capasitors...
But remember, Ozone ain't the best for health, in larger quantities...

Neither is doing a lot of soldering.
