Getting rid of smell of smoke - simple solution needed!

Posted by Ben Weisz, on Mon 29 Oct 2018 05:31pm

I am considering a small studio flat for rental. The previous tenant was a chain smoker who lived there for about 3 months. The place has not been well aired since and it smells bad, esp. the walls, possibly also the wardrobe. What can I do to remedy this? Does it need to be repainted?
