For Clothes You Wash

Simply washing your clothing like you normally do will not always eliminate the smoke smell from your clothes. Sometimes you might need to take an extra step or two to get rid that smoke odor.

Fragrant Detergent

Certain laundry detergents have added fragrance. Some have quite a bit added. Depending on how bad your clothes stink of smoke, using one of these super fragrant detergents might be a solution.

Laundry Additives

These additives have an even stronger scent or fragrance that those super fragrant detergents I previously mentioned. Gain Fireworks is one. Downy Unstoppable is also a scent additive products to make your clothes smell good. These can help to get rid of smoky smelling clothes.

Use Vinegar

Vinegar is wonderful. It has so many truly helpful uses. One of which is smoke odor elimination. Use white vinegar as a pre-soak. Fill your basin, sink, or bucket with enough warm water to cover your clothes. Add 1 cup of vinegar and make sure it is mixed around. Add your clothes and let soak for 45 to 60 minutes. If you want, add peppermint oil or another pleasing oil fragrance to the mix before putting your clothes in to soak. The vinegar soak will get rid of the smoke smell and the fragrant oil makes your clothes smell good. Remember to launder your clothes normally after the vinegar soaking.

Lemon Juice is Helpful

Lemon Juice is something else that is always handy to have in stock at home. It has lots of uses including getting the smell of smoke out of your clothes. Unlike vinegar, no pre-soak is needed. Instead, try adding about a 1/2 cup directly to your wash.
