How to remove smell of smoke from kitchen

[DaGuv]

Just moved into my new flat and the previous owner used to smoke in the kitchen and it now smells of smoke, any ideas how to get rid of it. I have fabreezed, rub down all units etc but still smells.

Thanks

Start off with re-decorating, including the ceiling.

Are there any existing carpets or curtains? They hold the smell of smoke.

No its laminate floor, I removed a blind that was smell really bad but smells still there!

wash all fabrics and buy some oust. if its the carpets that stink hire a cleaner.

try washing walls/ceiling down with sugar soap as well, it will help disperse the nicotine before decorating. But, you will probably need to stain block the ceiling if the staining is particularly bad....
