Nicotine & Heavy Smoke Odor Cleaning

Residential & Commercial

Professional nicotine and heavy smoke odor cleaning for homes and businesses in Brewer, Bangor, Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, and Central Maine. Penobscot Cleaning Services deep-cleans walls, ceilings, trim, fabrics, and HVAC systems to remove staining, residue, and persistent smoke odors. For rental turnovers, property sales, or post-smoking restoration, nicotine cleaning improves presentation, air quality, and property value.

Immediate Assessment and Surface Protection

Fast evaluation limits permanent staining and odor absorption

Nicotine residue and heavy smoke leave yellowed surfaces, sticky films, and embedded odors that cling to porous materials. Penobscot Cleaning Services responds quickly in Brewer, Bangor, and surrounding coastal communities to assess contamination levels and begin controlled cleaning. Early intervention reduces staining penetration and prevents odor from spreading through HVAC systems and soft contents.

When to Call for Nicotine & Smoke Odor Cleaning

Call if you notice yellow or brown staining on walls or ceilings, persistent smoke odor, sticky residue on surfaces, or odor circulating through vents. This is especially important before listing a property for sale, completing a rental turnover, or after years of indoor smoking. Delayed cleaning allows stains to set deeper into paint and drywall.

Nicotine & Heavy Smoke Residue Cleanup

Nicotine creates oily films that attract dirt and discolor paint, ceilings, and trim. Heavy smoke can penetrate fabrics, insulation, and HVAC systems. Proper removal requires repeated cleaning cycles with appropriate agents, controlled ventilation, and odor treatment. We clean without damaging finished surfaces and prepare them for priming and painting when necessary.

Deep cleaning of walls, ceilings & trim
Surfaces are cleaned—often multiple times—using appropriate cleaners designed to break down nicotine residue safely.

Ductwork and system components are inspected, cleaned, and filters replaced if needed to prevent odor recirculation.

Air scrubbers and deodorization methods reduce lingering smoke odor embedded in materials.
