Question from Eve

I have purchased a used computer from someone who smokes and never dreamed it would be saturated with smoke to the extent that it is. When it is running, the smell is overwhelming and I can’t stand to sit next to it very long. I’m very chemically sensitive anyway. I’ve burned bees wax candles all around it, and sprayed a non-toxic TKO orange air freshener around it too, but it just reeks.

I sure would appreciate any ideas anyone has on what to do. I thought of taking it outside and plugging it in and just letting it run and run, but am afraid knats and small bugs will get into it and ruin it. It would probably take a long time to get out all the smell that way anyway.

Thank you!

Hmmmmm….I’ve never encountered this before.

Readers, any ideas?
