A common question we receive when cleaning homes, especially those of elderly residents, is whether we can effectively clean smoke-damaged items. Cigarette smoke can cause significant damage to various household fabrics by not only discoloring them but also leaving persistent odors.

The short answer is yes—we can clean smoke-damaged fabrics. However, this type of cleaning often requires specialist equipment and may involve additional services depending on the items affected.

Smoke damage commonly affects fabrics such as curtains, carpets, couches, and fabric sofas. While deep cleaning carpets is typically an optional extra, it is highly effective at removing both smoke stains and lingering odors. In many cases, after smoke damage is treated, the difference in appearance and smell is noticeable and refreshing.
