I bought some recently charms online and when I opened them up the smell of smoke recently filled the air :(
Learned my lesson to ask before I buy :) I REALLY REALLY don't want to wash these. Being only 5 inches I don't want to loose a bunch of fabric by having them unravel. So any suggestions. Anything that I can stick in with them to remove the smell? I was thinking about sticking them into a big ziplock with the baking soda pack you can buy for the fridge? I LOVE the charms! Just not the smell :) Thanks! |
oh glad you asked..i had the same problem with some FQ i got on Ebay..
hoping for advice too |
I think I have heard to place Irish Springs bath soap in the bag for awhile.
You could also try the charcoal that is used in aquariums. |
Try this....lay them on a cookie sheet , they can overlap. Put them in the freezer for 3 days, check for smell, they should be good. I have heard this used for books as well.
|
Lay them all and spray with febreeze or hand wash them and lay them out to dry. Yuck!
|
You can also try putting them in a ziplock bag with borax sprinkled in it. Borax is a natural deodorizer.

Ugh, that is the worst smell to have on fiber products, I can't understand why people sell things that stink without mentioning it online.

I hadn't thought about fabreeze though! I will have to make a trip to the store this evening :) |
