removing smoke smell from bar stools

I've used Mirazyme (i think that's how you spell it) to remove campfire smoke smell from a tent.  Only caveat is that I actually soaked it, whereas I'm not sure you can do that with a stool.

Part of the issue is probably the padding, not just the vinyl.

You could try letting them air out in the sun/wind and see how that goes.  Also try baking soda for a few days.

    There is a few things you can do... If the vinyl is still good Id keep it original, But As stated above the foam under the seat is probibally the culprit... So flip it over remove the staples and replace that, Simple green ( the diluted version) will help too, For cleaning the back of the old vinyl... A vinyl guy shouldnt charge much to recover them if you choose that direction, They have been most likely recovered many times in there life already. Jennifer would be more concered with the condition of the chrome however, thats not a cheap fix. A little neverdull should bring it back to its former glory, dont over polish it however, It is possible to rub the finish right off it.

For industrial fire or smoke damages,  they use an Ozone generator.   Ozone is like a bleach in electrical form.  heh
It will pretty much kill anything.    The devices may be expensive, and you have to leave the place while they are in operation, as
its bad for you to breath in Ozone.

 I know there are some Ion generators which produce Ozone... that may be affordable.   Surely not as powerful as the real deal.
A lot of these were made before regulations were put out on Ozone levels.   I remember going to this guys house who had such a
device...  and it was kind of hard to breath in there cause the ozone level was way too high.

 It probably easiest to just replace the foam and reupholster.

My brother happened upon some stools in a similar way.

Getting the smoke smell off the hardware was easy, but he had to have them re-stuffed; he could not get the smell out of the seat stuffing.  If you value your time, this may be the more economical solution.

Here are the stools in question. There are two black ones that are both ripped like that, and 3 red ones that are in better shape.  Hard to pass them up at $4 each. (They only had 5 left)
