Dakota Non-Smoke Smoke Odor Eliminator-Non-Smoke

brief: awesome stuff. it actually works and can actually get out deep cigarette smells that have been baked into the cloth upholstery of a car for years. but... your car will smell like chemically baby powder for at least a week. after that, you'll have good, normal clean air/smell in your car. advice: "what you get out (the result), depends on what you put in (labor and care invested)." this life saying is so true. i bought a 4 year old used car. days after i settle on the price with the dealer, i went to pick up the car. details: when i got to the lot, the car windows were all rolled down, and the sunroof wide open. but, being this was only the 1st time i ever really bought a car solo, i suspected nothing. drove the car home for an hour, no problem. days later, i finally figured out why the dealer rolled down all the windows... horrible smoke smell. so, i talked to some car friends and mechanics. i was told that you can't get the smell out, have to spend hundreds and go for ozone cleaning, or a deep cleaning. bs, or they didn't know what they were talking about. i bought this 10 dollar can, took all mats out of car. vacuumed EVERYthing and everywhere in my car. wiped down everything with scented baby wipes; i used baby wipes because i was sure that was safer to use than chemicals like bleach or chlorox wipes. then, i sprayed or "fired" this odor bomb everywhere: under the front seats, aimed at the head liner, into seat backs. i raised, lowered, tilted, reclined front seats and still aimed everywhere that was exposed. even pushed this stuff into the air vents (months later, no problems). then, i shut the doors, windows. stepped out, sprayed the bomb stuff one more time as i was outside the car with one door open. then, just threw the can in the car, left it alone overnight. when i got up, the cigarette smell was gone... but there was an even worse smell. my best description really is that it smelled like very strong chemicals... but like "metallic baby powder". i know this makes little sense... but that's what i really smelled like. yes, it did smell worse than the original cigarette smell. might have been worse that even more potent cigars. so, for the next week, when i turned on the car, i put the ac on and turned off recirculate mode. i wanted to get rid of the odor bomb smell so badly and quickly - so i wanted to draw in air from the outside. whenever i drove, i tried to drive with the windows open, sunroof open. even when i parked overnight or for a days work fro 9 to 5, i left the rear windows a little open, and my sunroof tilted up. secret might be to get a lot of air flow post bomb spraying. when i could i would even roll down all the windows and open all the doors. wanted maximum wind and air flow to enter the car. about 1 week later, odor bomb and cigarette smell gone.... and i couldn't be happier with my neutral, clean, natural air clothe upholstery car. would definitly buy again... and wouldn't have done much of anything differently. summary: I THINK THE TRICK is to vacuum and or wipe everything down with baby wipes, spray this odor bomb everywhere, close all windows, let the car sit overnight.... then air out as much as possible.

The other day I bought a 2009 Nissan Titan just after it hit the dealership lot. It's a beautiful truck but it smelled like cigarettes. The dealership said they would run an ozonator in it for a few hours after they detailed the truck and I could pick it up the next day. It smelled much better the next day but the first day of sitting closed in a warm sun the truck smelled like cigarettes. An article in "Popular Mechanics" mentioned Non-Smoke for eliminating the tobacco odor. I purchased two cans from Amazon. One to use right away and one to save for when the odor returned. I used the directions from the magazine article. For about 10 days the smell of baby powder was very strong but the smoke odor was gone. It has been about a month with some very hot days and the smoke odor has not returned. I used about 3/4 of a can. I could have used just half. Good stuff, I would buy it again but I don't have to.

Absolutely works. I bought a Mercedes SL500 on an auction site and was upset to find it with a powerful cigarette smell once it was delivered. I used this once and it works like magic. I kept the car sealed for a few days and then aired it out. Now, a few weeks later it has a faint and pleasant baby powder scent. I am sure this will fade. Not sure if the smoke smell will come back, but I really don’t think it will. This doesn’t mask the odor, it actually eliminates the smoke smell.

As other reviews stated: it will remove smoke smell but also leaves a temporary baby powder smell. The smell did go away after a week or so of driving around with the windows down. I’ve tried everything to get rid of the smoke smell, other products, O-zone machines etc. I’m giving it five stars because it got rid of the smoke smell which is virtually impossible to do. I dealt with the stink of the product in the short term and would definitely do it again. People giving it one star due to this is unwarranted IMO. Update: after the long period of the baby powder smell finally fading away, unfortunately the smoke smell slowly came back. It wasn’t as bad as before, but still definitely noticeable.

afer smoking in it for 15 years. cigarette smoke makes me ill. i had second thoughts about keeping the car, but hell it only had 60k miles on it! so anyway, i thought a thorough steam cleaning and new cabin filters might do it. uh nope. and nope to vinegar and baking soda too. decided to try this stuff. took a deep breath and sprayed almost every inch for 2 minutes, closed it up tight, and left it overnight. aired it out the next day and noticed significant improvement. so did it 2 more nights. this stuff really does "eat smoke". there is still a hint but completely tollerable. i didnt remove the seats and do an A+ job. if i had to do it over, i would remove the seats and get in under those too. I'm still driving the car and i don't really notice the smell anymore. i recommend this stuff. rip dad, and thanks, love you.

This product is highly effective. It is worth every penny. The scent is pleasant but very strong, so you may want to use it just before you leave home, or go outside for 30 minutes are so. A little spray goes a long way. I live in a small one bedroom apartment so I just quick spritz each room then go outside for a few minutes until the scent dies down a bit. When I walk back in, there is no indication a smoker lives here.

Bought an '03 F350 4x4 diesel to tow a toy hauler- the dealer may have used something that blocked the odors but wore off,,,, or maybe I was congested from flying and Salt Lake City smells ad so I didn't notice how horrible the truck smelled for about a week; anyway the truck was smoked in and it was horrid; I tried leaving a bunch of drier sheets in the truck but not much help. Got this stuff and used 1/4 of the can or so on an extended cab pickup and about 2 weeks in and so far it's still greatly improved-- I will post updates as time goes by. A couple weeks later and it still smells a million times better then before treatment-- good stuff. 6 weeks or so and still smells great-- it'll be interesting to see if the heat of the summer brings back the smell, but I'm still very pleased.

After reading the reviews I thought that this product was perfect for the car I recently bought that was filled with smoke smell. I used a can of this and it left a baby powder-esk smell which gets into all of your clothes. After two weeks no smoke smell and hey I though this actually worked, that was until the first hot day. I live in Oregon and its not like it gets super hot here in the Valley but after the first hot day the smoke smell was back. I thought it was a fluke and used another can and again once we had a hot day the smell was back. Its great if you want to temporarily cover up the smell with baby powder smell or if you live in the Arctic and it never gets hot. I would not waste your money people. STAY AWAY!

Smoked in my car for 5 years. The spray was amazing used the full can and then left overnight. Smoke smell gone, even asked a non smoker to check and agreed. Very strong for a couple of days so opening the windows helped.

Eliminated smoke smell

Fantastic product, I used it to rid house and car when I gave up smoking. Leaves a chemical smell at first but it’s not unpleasant and doesn’t last long. Cars previously owner had dogs and this stuff got rid of the dog smell too.

Sprayed twice in the car and it got rid of the smoke smell for good

The best smoke odour canister on the market.
