How to remove tobacco odour from clothes

How to remove tobacco odour from clothes
Tobacco odour is particularly difficult to remove when it permeates clothing. This problem affects not only those who smoke, but also those who are passively exposed to smoke. Garment fibres quickly absorb the malodorous molecules, which can cause the odour to persist even after washing. Scentechnologies Green Formula is the ideal solution to effectively neutralise tobacco odour in clothing. Designed to combat amines and other smoke-derived compounds, this formula ensures your garments stay fresh and odour-free.

Causes of tobacco odour on clothes

1. Chemical origin

Tobacco odour in clothing comes from chemical compounds such as nicotine, tar and amines, which adhere deeply to textile fibres. These molecules are volatile and are released slowly, prolonging the odour.

2. Contributing factors

  • Prolonged exposure to smoke: Even a few minutes in a smoky environment can permeate garments.
  • Type of fabric: Natural fibres such as cotton and wool tend to absorb more odour than synthetic fibres.
  • Insufficient washing: Some washing methods do not completely remove malodorous molecules.

Effective solutions with Scentechnologies

Green Formula: How it Works

Green Formula neutralises the molecules responsible for tobacco odour in textile fibres, effectively eliminating them. It also leaves a fresh scent that transforms the perception of cleanliness in garments.

Application systems according to the environment

  1. In everyday garments:
    • Spray Intense Spray directly onto the laundry before or after washing to remove impregnated odours immediately.
  2. In wardrobes and enclosed spaces:
    • Wear Polymer Plus inside wardrobes or drawers to neutralise persistent odours in stored clothes.
  3. In spaces with a lot of affected clothing:
    • Install Polymer with ST Tower 2™ for air treatment in areas up to 100 m², ideal for laundries or large cloakrooms.

Additional benefits of Scentechnologies

  • Advanced molecular neutralisation: Acts directly on malodorous molecules, eliminating them completely.

Practical tips to prevent tobacco odours on clothing

  1. Avoid direct exposure: Keep garments away from smoking environments.
  2. Air clothes regularly: Hang garments outside to air them out and reduce odour build-up.
  3. Use continuous neutralising devices: Place a Polymer Plus in the wardrobe to keep clothes fresh and odour-free.
