How to Get Rid of Cigarette Smoke on a Marble Fireplace

Cigarette smoke is a pervasive odor that can permeate many objects in your home, including your marble fireplace. Over time, the marble will begin to soak up the cigarette smoke odor. Use products that will absorb the odor without damaging the marble. White vinegar is a common ingredient in odor-absorbing sprays, but you should not use it on your marble fireplace, as the acid will etch the surface. Choose products that won't damage marble.
