Re: how do you get rid of smoke smell?

The one place that the smells will be the most predominant in will be the headliner. This of course is the worst thing to try to clean. Most headliners are now the cloth with the foam backing that is glued to a fiberglass formed piece. if you get this too wet it deteriorates and starts to hang down in the vehicle. You can use a wet upholstery clearner/vacuum and apply a very light mist of water to the material and suck the residue from the fabric, but be careful. I have used a squirt bottle with water that has a small amount of vinegar in it to do such cleaning. Be sure to use the upholstery vacuum to pul what you can from the material.
