I bought a bag of scraps at a quilt show. Got them home, opened them up and they very quickly went out to the garage to air out. Smell lingered for months. I didn't know how to wash scraps.
How do you wash scraps?

@nd had smoke is bad for everyone and everything - hope you get a smoking outside pact as soon as possible. Especially for those who can't speak for themselves, children, pets, the elderly, but not great for a mate who doesn't like to argue about issues either. You are on my prayer list.

You have ideas that would work. If you put into even totes after being washed you can use those little dry packs they put into everything to absorb moisture. I save them and put them into my totes of fabric and even project boxes.
