Smelly New Vellux Blanket - How do I get rid of smell?
Comments (8)Thanks for your response. But these Vellux blankets have this smell. It doesn't bother other people, but because I have a hyper-sensitive nose and lungs I can't be around the smell. I have purchased Vellux blankets in the past. Probably have 4 older ones. They all smelled, but I didn't have the hyper-sensitivity back then. So it wasn't an issue. Now 4 or 5 years later and lots of washings the smell has disappeared. But now that I'm hyper-sensitive I need to figure how to hasten the process. I can't wait months or years for the new to wear off. I use all the rooms in my house so I don't have a place to keep it until then....See MoreTerrible smell: how to get rid of it
Comments (15)We had that problem with a condo we owned and rented out. The tenant was a heavy smoker and it simply reeked. We wanted to put it on the market but the agent said not to list it til the smell was GONE. We replaced the carpet too. This is what worked: Kilz (as recommended above) on the walls. Then we set bowls of vinegar all over the room, along the walls so we didnâÂÂt trip over them. On top of the vinegar I put a few drops of an essential oil. I bought food grade pure oil at Whole Foods, as it has to be âÂÂrealâ essential oil, not just an oily perfume. The vinegar volatilizes and makes the oil evaporate into the air. It took about a month. I went over there at least once a week to refresh the bowls, adding more vinegar and oil. I could tell the odor was a bit better every time I went in. ItâÂÂs probably the vinegar rather than then the oil, but this is what I was told to do when I posted MY question on the forum, so I did it that way....See MoreGetting Rid of Perfume Smell
Comments (4)I know this sounds weird but try replacing your potpurri with a kitty litter sachet! My mother in law had the dog attack a skunk under her car and the car was so foul that you couldn't be near it without being nauseated. The kitty litter worked at getting that stench out!...See Moregetting rid of perfume odor
Comments (13)you may strike up a conversation about your allergies - if you can bring it up in casual conversation - how your allergies prevent you from using perfume, hairsprays, fragrant lotions and soaps and strong smelling cleaning solutions - and it really bothers you to be around those scents. many people, if aware that is a problem, will be considerate enough not use those in your home- my doctors office has posted a sign that says "many of our clients are sensitive to strong fragances, please refrain from wearing them in our waiting room, serious offenders may be asked to leave." ... perhaps you could make a sign for your door kind of the like the warning this house is protected by sonitrol .... but instead warning no artificial scents past this point... i do sympathize with your sensitivity to odors - instant migraine for me ......See Moreheather_on
