Getting Your La Jolla Home Ready for Sale there are some things you have to just do.  It might be a little uncomfortable, but we need to talk!


Ok, La Jolla Home Owners we are going to discuss a sensitive issue. La Jolla Luxury Homes with smokers. 


It has been said before that finding the perfect remedy to cigarette odor is like the quest for the Holy Grail.

 
For those who do not smoke, the ashtray atmosphere of a La Jolla smoker's home is exceedingly unpleasant.  A Google search of "cigarette odor removal" renders more than 255,000 Websites.  There is definitely a need in the marketplace for a solution.
 

There are hundreds of things that compete in the marketplace, each professing to be the answer, but none is truly a successful treatment. If any of these products were successful, it would no longer be necessary for nonsmoking travelers to request nonsmoking rooms in hotels.

 

The most effectual short-term approach to the smoke-odor problem involves total repainting of walls and ceilings, complete replacement of carpets and draperies, and extensive cleanup of everything else.   If you dont want to do that, here are a few tried and true ideas to help remove the smoke odor from your La Jolla Luxury home:

 
 
 
  • Set small bowls of vinegar, pine-scented cleaner or activated charcoal around the room
  •  Try Vamoose 1808T Tobacco Odor fabric spray or Febreze Fabric Freshener.
  •  Light bulbs are a double-whammy when it comes to cigarette odor.  First of all, they attract smoke.  Secondly, each time you turn them on afterward, the heat releases odors from the smoke's residue.  Clean those light bulbs.
  •  Baking soda - one of the tried-and-true methods of odor removal.  Whether cleaning your carpet or smelly furniture baking soda is your friend.  Sprinkle it over the smoke-infused area and let it sit for a few hours.  Then whip out your trusty vacuum cleaner to suck up the soda, finishing the job.
  •  Launder whatever you can.  If an entire room smells like last year's bachelor party, you should wash or dry-clean everything possible in order to maximize cigarette odor removal.
  •  Often overlooked is the interior of forced-air heating ducts. These can emit odors every time the heating or air conditioning is operated. Some kinds of air ducts can be cleaned, while others must be replaced.
 

Lastly, it is the simple passage of time. If you live in your La Jolla home long enough, the cigarette odors will gradually but surely become a vague remembrance.   But when you are trying to sell your La Jolla home, you need to do everything possible to eliminate the smell immediately!

 

Try some of these methods to get rid of the smell of smoke in your La Jolla Luxury home.   La Jolla buyers right now have lots of choices to purchase a La Jolla home.   To get your La Jolla Home Sold you will definitely need to make your La Jolla home the most desirable.
