Need help getting smoky smell out of house!!

[ColoradoKat]

I was boiling my dd some frozen peas the other day, then decided to leave, walk to the coffee shop, go to the children's museum, enjoy the nice weather......... 2 hours later........ came home to a house FULL of nasty smoke and thank god no flames!

My 100 year old house smells so bad, actually like cigarette smoke, and it is driving me crazy. The worst are the kitchen cabinets, they totally stink. I have obviously aired it out as much as I can during winter in Colorado as well as burned lots of smelly candles, simmered water with grapefruit essential oils in it, simmered coffee, I even broke down and bought Febreez (yuk!). Nothing seems to help! Thank god we have all hardwood floors.

Is it just a mater of time and waiting it out or are there any other things I could try to help with the smokey smell.

Thanks!!!

try leaving bowls of vinegar set out, I ususally use white to clean with but for stinkies I use apple cider, think the smell is a little stronger.

can aslo try boiling vinegar too... just don't forget it on the stove I don't 'like' the smell of boiling vinegar but probably would like it better than the smokey smell.
