Clean with plain Vinger wash. Tell me about it.

After my husband and I had a fire in our apartment building, we used Kids 'N' Pets Stain and Odor Remover. It safely and effectively removed all of the smoke smell, even from my antique chenille bedspread. I've also used it on cat urine stains. It works wonders! I buy it at Walmart for around $5.

My house burned down this past Sunday. We have been able to salvage some stuff, but obviously it smells horrible. Are there any suggestions on how in the world to get smells out of mattresses, clothes, books, photos, etc.?


We had a fire and lost just about everything but a few items. We were able to save some pictures, books, and a few clothes. I used scope in the clothes and it removed all of the smoke smell, but I am still looking for ways to remove the smoke out of books, pictures, and a suitcase. Any suggestions?

I think the best place to ask would be your insurance company. They would know a specialist you could call to ask. (02/25/2010)
