You could always keep a herd of cattle in there. I could promise you that you would never be troubled by the stench of tobacco again. Sorry. Air it out and a coat or two of paint would do it/ [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 5 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 83 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 49

One time, when we were cleaning out or garage...I poured an entire bottle of lysol on the concrete floor and used a mop to spread it around, I'm sure you could use bleach to.

Airing it out and using Febreeze usually works, there is also a cinnamon scented or an orange scented national brand that works well, but it has to say "Odor Eliminator" or it won't work as well.

Might try a search, but there is a product, can't remember the name, used to clean houses with after a fire.... Probably easier to paint..........

We smoked in our garage as well. Air it out on the weekends. The smell will eventually go away. If you want it to go away faster, but some KILS paint (nicotine won't bleed through KILS) then paint with fresh paint.

Hi all, Does anyone have any practical advice about getting rid of the "evidence". Patty and I did not smoke in our cars or our house, only outside and in our garage during the winter. Our garage smells like a pool hall. Paint? Soap and water? Thanks...Jake [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/9/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 8 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 168 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $24 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 43
