What are the chances of removing the smell of smoke from antiques, leather furniture, etc?

leather furniture ~Ang~ asked:

We recently lost our home to fire, but it was contained to 3 rooms and we were able to remove many things. The smell of smoke is terrible on most of it. I have an antique sewing machine, among other antiques that have tremendous sentimental value but am clueless as how to remove the smell without causing more damage. I also have leather furniture and many wood pieces. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated. Thanks and a very Happy Easter to All… : ) Angie

Arm & Hammer baking soda can take the smell of smoke, sweat, and etc from furniture. You can get a box or two and apply a thick layer of it on the surface and leave it on for an hour. Then vacuum it off, and the smell should be gone.
