Smoking Methods
1 Joints (Very Potent)
Don’t smoke joints in the house. They carry the strongest odors and cause the house, as well as your clothes, hair and hands to smell of weed.
2 Bongs (Mild Odor)
Bongs produce much less marijuana smell than joints. The smoke gets partially purified from traveling through bong water, which causes the smoke to be more purified.
3 Vaporizers (Virtually No Odor)
Using a vaporizer allows you to make a significant cut within weed odors within your house. This tool leaves almost no odors behind, and is a great solution for being respectful of non-smoking roommates.
Long-term Smell Solutions
1 Bleach
Make a solution of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water within a large bucket. Using a sponge scrub down all surfaces including the walls, ceiling and floors with this solution. Be sure that windows are open during this process so that the moisture can evaporate and sweep any remaining traces outside.
2 Baking Soda
If your carpet has a distinct odor of weed, it can be tricky to get this odor out. Be sure to sprinkling high quantities of baking soda over the entire surface of the carpet, and let the powder sit for 24-48 hours. After a minimum of a day has past, you can vacuum all of the baking soda off from the carpet. The baking soda should have absorbed much of the odor by this point, leaving your carpets smelling fresh.
3 Smoke Joints Outdoors
Due to joints smelly nature, be sure to never smoke a them while being indoors. If you need to smoke indoors, you may want to consider purchasing an vaporizer to cut down on odors.
