We are not ready to take them up there so they will be in the garage for a time while we remodel. Any ideas for odor removal? I thought of taking them outside in the sun for a while. My husband has not noticed yet.
He's not always on target with my purchases. lol
I would definitely leave them out in the sunshine as much as possible.
