Anyone have experience of buying a house that was lived in by smokers?
But late but yes.
You could tell which side of the bed the heavier smoker slept!
We managed to remove it through thoroughly cleaning and repainting. Kitchen was the worst because it meant scrubbing everything - fridge and freezer draws, rubber seals, etc. Most rooms required two washes of sugar soap before painting.
Smell is long gone now and our place now smells of fresh washing and shitty nappies.
In your situation I'd probably get a deep clean booked for the moving in day and maybe just hire a painter decorator to repaint your little ones room.
