Here are the Best Ways to Get Rid of Cannabis Odor
While we all appreciate the plant that is cannabis, the smell can be obnoxious or cause issues in our daily life. Due to the different scent profiles of strains, different smells come from burning weed. Like anything else you smoke, cannabis scents can linger on furniture, carpet, and clothes; and can be hard to remove. Even if you don’t medicate, but someone in your house does (or you are a caregiver for someone who does), these tips and tricks will help to get rid of cannabis odor and how to hide smoke smell.

The key to getting rid of that pesky weed odor is to make sure you’re ventilating your smoke area properly and trapping as minimal smoke as possible. It is more difficult to lift when it has had time to permeate your clothes, body, and furniture. Especially in confined spaces. If weed smoke is an issue for where you live or who you’re living with, consider medicating with edibles, tinctures, or vapes, which are almost odorless. Depending on the time you have to mask the smell, you can deep clean your smoking area with isopropyl alcohol and sanitizing wipes, which will help tremendously.
