After all, a large amount of it is formed. Therefore, it is recommended to get rid of it after smoking. There are a number of simple rules that allow you to quickly eliminate the smoke and smell of hookah after smoking.
How to eliminate hookah smell in the apartment?
You should take care of the room beforehand. Even before smoking hookah, you can reduce the consequences. A large amount of smoke is a peculiarity of a hookah. But why should you get rid of it? The fact is that the smoke contains a large amount of harmful products. Therefore, it is not recommended to breathe this smoke again. It is important to eliminate the smell in a timely manner. Listen to the following recommendations:
- Even before you start smoking hookah, you should let fresh air into the room. Good ventilation will ensure sufficient air circulation. If the time of year is warm, you can leave the windows open, and then the smoke will be constantly aired out. If it is cool, it is enough to air the room for 5-10 minutes.
- Place slices of mandarin, orange, lemon or other citrus fruits on small plates around the room. This will not only create a pleasant aroma, but it will also take away some of the smoke. It is also recommended to pour water into a vase, bowl or decanter and put citrus slices there as well. The smoke will become a little less.
- Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation while you smoke. Ideally, open a window and turn on a fan. But this is done only if the weather conditions allow. If not, open the window every 20 minutes for 2-3 minutes during the waterpipe smoking.
- Unpleasant odor may occur during the heating of the coal. In this case, it is recommended to turn on the hood or leave a window in the kitchen open in any weather until the charcoal warms up.
- The smell of hookah smoke is easily eliminated by using "wet traps." If there is a large amount of smoke in the room, you should put several glasses of water. To enhance the effect, it is worth adding a teaspoon of vinegar to 1 liter of water, and this liquid is placed in the containers. Such water will quickly absorb a large amount of smoke from the hookah.
- If the smell of shisha tobacco is quite pungent, you should grind a few coffee beans, pour them into a cup and put them in the room. After a couple of minutes, you will hear only the aroma of coffee.
- The most common mistake after smoking a hookah is to leave it assembled. You think that the shisha tobacco has long since burned through, and you leave barely smoldering embers on it. Nevertheless, they are quite enough to maintain the heat and emit aroma and even smoke. Therefore, it is necessary to disassemble the hookah immediately after smoking.
- A wet cleaning helps. It is enough to wipe the table, decor items and furniture with a damp cloth, and the smoke will be much less. The smell of hookah tobacco will also be eliminated.
- To quickly remove traces of smoke, take a flower sprayer, pour water with lemon juice in it and spray it around the room.
These methods will quickly eliminate not only the smoke, but also the smell of shisha tobacco. Apply tips that promote clean air after smoking. Of course, the best way is to ventilate, especially if it is possible to provide a draft. You can buy special products that remove the smell of tobacco from clothing and furniture. Remember, it is better to prevent the problem than to deal with the consequences.
