Buying Smoke Free Items Online |
|
|
|
When buying clothing, stuffed animals or books on auction websites, make sure that the items have been in a smoke-free environment. If it's not stated in the auction description, be sure to ask the seller directly. Cigarette smoke odors can be difficult to remove, especially from stuffed toys and books.

I had someone send me a pamphlet type pattern once that just REEKED of cigarette smoke. I cured the problem by putting the item back into the large envelope it came in with a fabric softener sheet enclosed. In three days the cigarette odor was totally gone.
For stuffed animals, I have found that washing with Febreze liquid in the rinse works. Open the washer lid and soak for a bit in the Febreze rinse if you are able. For sensitivity purposes I washed the items one more time with just water - no soap, softener or Febreze.

Be sure you want the item in spite of a possible odor. I ask about it and am told, "No odor." But it has an odor anyway.
The vendor usually says, "Ooh, sorry, my allergies were acting up and I couldn't smell a thing."
