Vinegar in the Laundry: Remove Smoke Odor

If your washable clothing reeks of cigarette or cigar smoke odor, add 1/2 cup vinegar to your laundry wash cycle. For nonwashable clothing, fill the bathtub with very hot water and 1 cup white distilled vinegar. Hang the garments above the steaming water and shut the door so the steam can penetrate the fibers.
