The "dryer fabric" simply covers up one smell with another. A fairly large
percentage of the population is allergic to the chemicals used in the
scented dryer sheets. So, covering up the smoker smell with annother ,
maybe worse, smell may not be the greatest idea in the world. There are
cleaners that will remove the smoker smell, but I'm not sure which (maybe
409?). I'll be facing "de-smelling" a 75S-3C and 32S-3A this winter, so
really interested in solutions.

Hi Don,
I don't see any answers on the reflector, maybe you got some direct.
I've found that in general the nicotine crud is water soluble. I've used
water with some hand dishwashing liquid, and a bit of Murphy' Oil Soap for
good measure. Paint brush, tooth brush, etc. for swabbing. Don't think
that will get out all the smell, tho'. Try putting some dryer fabric
softening sheets inside, put it in a plastic bag for a week or so, and
that usually helps.

The previous owner(s) were smokers and there is a LOT of nicotine to be
removed.
What is a safe cleaner to use ?
Thanks
