LRF4N Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 My old mans bm has a smell of cigarette smoke which won't go away, even after several months, tried different things on it, nothings shifting it they only cover it up for a few days. I think it's coming from the roof lining. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 febreeze and change the air filters for the cabin, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Give Kim & Aggy a call Headliner prolly needs a deep clean, if it's removable, could you try a carpet cleaning machine? Clean all other surfaces too, with like Megs APC or something, every little helps I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Tried febreeze twice only lasted 3-4 days. The other bits have been done a few times il try again soon. Not sure if it can be removed it's a 2005 5 series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 re-trim would be the ultimate solution I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Place a bowl of spirit vinegar (clear stuff) in the footwell for a few days. Also helps if you wipe all surfaces with a 10:1 solution of water(10) and vinegar(1) (Don't leave it there when you drive............it will spill ) Don't call me Aggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Get some agur buthi in there thats the only thing strong enough to kind of mask it. The best thing to do is to rent a rug doctor or another carpet cleaning machine unless your hoover can do that. If you spray something on it like fairy liquid or something make sure it doesnt take the colour off. if you do hire a machine, spray the stuff on, aggitate it with a brush then suck it up. I did this to my old 106(smoker had it before me) and it took the smell away. Also if its dry (hardly ever in glasgow lol) then leave the windows open too as it will air it out. I found if you dont aggitate it with a brush it doesnt do a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
