Short answer: smoke and odor cleaning in Chicago with Tailored starts from $704, custom quoted by home size and residue level. Smoke odor lives in a sticky film on walls, ceilings, cabinets and fabrics, so the fix is washing it off, not covering it up with fragrance.
For heavy, years-long smoking, cleaning can significantly reduce odor but may not remove it completely. Walls may still need an odor-sealing primer before painting, and carpets or HVAC ducts may need specialist work. We'll tell you honestly what to expect. We don't do fire or soot restoration for insurance claims after a significant fire.
What's included
- Walls, ceilings, doors and trim washed to remove nicotine and smoke film
- Cabinets inside and out, light fixtures, blinds and window sills
- Vent covers and return grilles cleaned (replace your furnace filter too)
- Hard floors and baseboards washed
- Odor-neutralizing treatment of cleaned surfaces
- Honest recommendation if paint sealing, duct cleaning or carpet replacement is needed

FAQ
Smoke & Odor Cleaning, answered.
How much does smoke odor cleaning cost in Chicago?
Tailored's smoke and odor cleaning starts from $704 and is custom quoted by home size and how heavy the residue is.
Can cleaning remove cigarette smell from an apartment?
Washing walls, ceilings, cabinets and fixtures removes most of the residue that causes the smell. Heavy, long-term smoking may also need odor-sealing primer, carpet replacement or duct cleaning.
Do you do fire damage restoration?
No. We handle light cooking smoke and nicotine residue. Significant fire and soot damage needs a restoration company working with your insurer.
Should I clean before painting a smoker's apartment?
Yes. Paint applied over nicotine film often lets stains and odor bleed through. Wash first, then prime with an odor-blocking primer.
