Hi everyone! I recently bought a used laptop that looks and performs well, but I'm dealing with an unpleasant cigarette smell that I didn't catch before. Aside from taking it to a service center for a thorough cleaning, what are some effective methods to get rid of that smell?

A good idea is to do a complete physical cleaning of the laptop inside and out. You might also want to consider an ozone treatment for the best results. It works wonders on odors!
You could try using Febreze. It’s not a permanent fix, but it might help mask the smell in the meantime.
You might want to start by cleaning the fans and other accessible parts inside the laptop. Dust can trap smells, so getting rid of that could help.
Totally agree! I had a similar situation with some secondhand items from a smoke-filled home. I rented an ozone generator—it cost about 20 bucks for a day. I ran it once, and it completely eliminated the smell. Just make sure to check safety guidelines before using it.
