I%26#039;m wanting to make a deodorizer that I can spray onto my fabric lounge suite and curtains etc to neutralize cigarette smoke smells.
Thanks in advance for all help given.
Bruja279
I%26#039;d like to make my own fabric deodorizer please.?
I fill a spray container with water and add two or three drops of clear baking vanilla - more or less depending on the scent you like (test this for staining on a small area of the fabric BEFORE you spray)
I also saturate cottonballs with the same clear baking vanilla and place them around the room.
that being said; one redi made container of spray specifically made for deodorizing fabric can be made into 4 bottles which are be just as effective at killing odors by adding 1 part fabric spray to 3 parts distilled water.
Reply:Fill an empty spray bottle with water and two or three table spoons of downey fabric softner. Mix or shake well and spray on desired area. Febreeze works great too. Taking down and machine washing curtains every 3 or 4 weeks helps also. Hope this helps
Reply:good luck! heres a tip! dont smoke!! ull get lung cancer and tar in ur lungs~~!~~

Suitcase Deodorizer?
I have a couple of suitcases that kind of stink and I was wondering what would be best for taking the smell out? Anything I can just leave in there or do I need to clean it with something? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
Suitcase Deodorizer?
Try sprinkling some fresh baking soda inside the suitcase and leaving it for half an hour or so. Leave it longer if the suitcase is REALLY stinky. The baking soda absorbs bad smells and doesn%26#039;t leave an odor. You may want to pour it out and then vacuum the inside of the suitcase to take all the baking soda out when you%26#039;re done. Make sure the baking soda is FRESH and not from the box you%26#039;ve had sitting in your fridge for a month. That should do the trick.
Reply:Every vacation, I put one of those tiny bars of soap from the hotel in my suitcase, unwrapped....
It makes the suitcase and the laundry coming home smell fresh.
Reply:Baking soda/fabric softner sheets. Both help with odor.
Reply:Febreeze...
Some ceder blocks will help...after the fact...also help keep thebugs away. :D
Wash them with soap %26amp; warm water - use a damp (not wet) cloth or sponge
Reply:And if that didn%26#039;t work, take them outside and put a few lumps of charcoal or baking soda on a paper plate inside each one after scrubbing them. It sounds like mildew.
Reply:Try _Odo ban_.
It is amazing stuff.
Air it out and put some dryer sheets inside before closing.
Reply:i would use a little febreze and leave a couple of dryer sheets in them.
Reply:Setting an open box or bowl of baking soda inside then closing the suitcase might help a lot. Vinegar is also a good odor absorber but you would have to be very careful about not spilling that. If letting something like the soda sit in there for a couple of days doesn%26#039;t work then you will probably have to move up to actually cleaning the suitcase. The best way of doing that will depend on what it%26#039;s made out of.
Hope the soda works! *:*
Reply:The best thing for your suitcases is plenty fresh air. leave them outside for the day. You can also sponge them down with a little water with a touch of lemon . then put them outside
Reply:What about leaving them open in the hot sun or open in a hot car to bake for a few days to a week.
Store them propped open.with bars of soap (with a pleasant odor) in them if you have space in your house.
Next time: Before leaving home, pack a few big plastic garbage bags and large brown grocery bags. On vacation, put dirty clothes in a big PAPER grocery bag. Same for shoes. Then when packing your luggage for your trip home, lower the dirty paper bag of laundry /or shoes in big plastic bags. The paper bag absorbs the moisture. When you arrive home, take all dirty laundry and shoes out of your luggage right away.

Air Deodorizer / Air Cleaner help?
Hi Everyone,
First time using this, and it%26#039;s because I%26#039;m desperate for help.
My Question is this:
My roomate who lives with me, always stays in his room (yes its terrible), and the thing is he often eats takeout in his room and doesnt throw it away right away, so it starts to smell up his room, and it leaks into the apartment. I%26#039;ve asked him to clean up more often but being in university, hes often busy which is understandable.
So I%26#039;ve tried the plug in air fresheners but I think MASKING the problem isn%26#039;t effective as solving it. I want to know if anyone has any good recommendations for a machine that effectively eliminates ODORS as the top priority?
I%26#039;m a bit confused as to whether air cleaners / air purifiers actually tackle the odor issue as well? For example, the Surround Air XJ2100 or the Ionic Breeze. Most of these focus on cleaning the air from allergens etc., not really the ODOR in the air.
Hope you guys can help. Thanks so much!

I%26#039;ve never used either of the systems you mentioned. I think the solution, however, lies in throwing the food out before the smell begins to permeate the rest of the apartment. Surely, he could keep a trash bag for leftovers and food scraps in his room. He could bring it out to the kitchen once a day for disposal with the rest of the garbage.
My concern would be that the food scraps may attract roaches and ants.
I would come up with a solution to solve the problem, not cover it up. Good luck.
Reply:Febreeze ,febreeze .Spray the drapes or curtains ,spray the mattress ,the carpet ,his clothes ,its safe on fabric ,buy a plug in also ,Girl get you some and go wild or nuts spraying ,who cares .
open the windows also .
I would have a nice talking with your roommate ,don%26#039;t allow food in the bedrooms.I%26#039;m sure you have a kitchen or dinning room .
just imagine all the ants ,or fleas come on take control of the situation .Its your place also .What does it say about yourself?
Reply:Being busy is no excuse for being selfish.
It doesn%26#039;t take that much extra time for him to throw his food out in a place that doesn%26#039;t disturb his roommates.
Unless you can tell him either not to eat in his room or to throw the food out in a place which is not going to smell up the apartment youre going to have to open the windows and air the place out, it%26#039;s the only way.
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard OUST is good. It actually kills the bacteria that causes the bad smell.
If you are just wanting to cover it up- use febreez, candles, fragrance lamps or sprays.

Room deodorizer?
sprinkle baking soda on the carpet, then vacuum. or put a dish of baking soda in a pretty bowl in the corner.
put two drops of vanilla directly onto a lightbulb in the room and when it heats up it will smell good.
bake bread.
open the window for few minutes even when its freezing outside to get fresh air.
oh yes, and empty the litter box! lol!
Reply:use %26quot;oust%26quot;
Reply:Crazy as this sounds, i swear to god this works..Mix white vinegar with water and spray into the air. Be careful not to get the furniture overly wet. I tried this in my basement. the pickle smells goes away faster than you think. It got rid of the cat smell i had down there and now since the source of the problem had been taken care of, now i just spray some regular air stuff in the air every now and then. When we entertain in the basement rec room, people say how nice it smells for being a basement

Help. Duffle bag still smells like room deodorizer from cruise.?
We went on a carnival cruise in May and noticed our plastic duffle bag smelled like the room deodorizer that was used in the cabin. I%26#039;ve tried airing it out in the sun and spraying it with Lysol to get rid of the smell. Nothing has worked. I stored the bag in my closet hoping the problem would just go away in time and now my closet and everything in it smells as well. I would appreciate any ideas on how to get rid of the smell from the closet and duffle bag. Thanks in advance.
Help. Duffle bag still smells like room deodorizer from cruise.?
try placing an open box of baking soda in the closet with the bag for a week-that should take the smell out--good luck!!!
Reply:Wash the duffle bag gently with a mixture of vinegar and water....about 1 part vinegar with 5 parts water. Let the vinegar %26amp; water sit on it for a while. If that doesn%26#039;t work, you can use a product that eliminates odors..such as Feebrez...
Reply:If you can, by all means wash it! Several times if necessary. You could then try activated charcoal, you can get it from a pet shop that sells fish tank supplies. This absorbs odors best. Maybe try some odor eaters for shoes, if that doesn%26#039;t work. Febreze might work too but it might just wear off after awhile...best would be to put it setting open in the garage or other airy place where it can air out over time and the smell will dissipate...unless your garage smells bad too...that must be some nasty room deodorizer they use on Carnival Cruises...ugh!
Reply:You could try washing the bag and letting it air dry outside. As for the closet... you could take everything out for air, or try some febreeze or another air freshener placed inside the closet.

Good deodorizer for tennis shoes that have been left out in the rain?
Left my tennis shoes on the front porch a couple of nights ago and they got soaked by a rain storm, the tennis shoes are dry now, but what a stink. Do I have to throw them away or is there something that will get the stink and dampness out on the inside? Home remedies welcome. Thanks.
Good deodorizer for tennis shoes that have been left out in the rain?
Wash the tennis shoes in the washing machine with some towels and regular detergent add 1c. of baking soda to the water... Let them air dry.. Use a fan to speed up process or let them air dry in the sun... Good luck
Reply:the best way i found is put in washer like u would towels
Reply:Spray them with a mixture of vinegar and water. Then stuff the insides with dry newspaper. You may have to leave them awhile, or even change the newspaper. But vinegar and water will remove odors from just about anything, and newspaper absorbs moisture.
