White vinegar in a spray bottle for the interiors of the drawers.

I have a china cabinet that belonged to my parents & their house was covered in smoke all the time. It was washed down REALLY well with Murphy Oil Soap a couple of times & then polished with furniture polish. It is in my home & you can't smell any cigarette smoke on it now.

Thank you all. These sound like some good ideas. I'm thinking of getting some Murphy's Oil Soap and some Odoban. They have both at Wal-Mart. It's a pretty bedroom suit and I want to take good care of it, especially since it's 60 some years old. I might try the vinegar until I can get to the store to get the other stuff.

I just remembered that vinegar is good for removing odors too. You could put a bowl of vinegar in each drawer and leave them shut for a day or two.

Cat litter absorbs odors as well. OP, I would google "how to remove odors from furniture" and see if you find other ideas.
There are some good ones here, as well.
It might turn out that charcoal, or cat litter, or baking soda in the drawers will help, as will Murphy's Oil Soap on the wood.

Someone once told me that charcoal briquettes will absorb odor.

Use furniture polish on the wood. Use the other products already mentioned on the matress or upholstery. And I like the idea by 1goddess, sit it outside when you can. The change in temperature will drive a lot of odor out.

Biocide 3213 Auto Shocker CIO2 Quick Release Odor/Smoke/Smell Remover
You can find it on ebay. I used it in a vehicle I bought that had been smoked in. Worked perfectly.

tupelo,
try odoban. I think you can find it at wal Mart. A little costly but is great on smoke related stuff.

Can't paint it, but I will try the Murphy's Oil Soap and as far as the drawers go, I'm thinking of using lots of Febreze and lining the drawers with cedar. It's a nice set of furniture, solid walnut I think. I want to be careful with it. It was bought around 1954.

fresh coat of paint and some Murphy's Oil Soap for the wood furniture.
If it's upholstered furniture you may have to sit it outside...when you can...and let it air out and lots of Febreeze or other fabric freshners.

I've inherited a bedroom suit that belonged to my parents. It reeks of cigarette smoke and moth balls. Does anybody know a good way to get rid of the smell or a good product to use? I've looked online and there are so many products for this, but I don't have a clue which ones work the best. I plan on putting cedar in the drawers, but I want to clean the furniture as well. Any suggestions?
