xylex Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Work just sent me a computer that reeks of cigarette smoke. I've wiped down everything that was safe to and blew out the rest, but it's still making my office smell. Anyone ever have any luck getting rid of the smell? Google's got lots of suggestions to try various methods, but not much about people saying any of that actually works.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Or you could put it into a clothes dryer with one of those nice smelling dryer sheets and let it tumble around for a while. That would get any loose food crumbs out as well.
