Removing strong perfume smell

by | Apr 5, 2011 | Q & A | 1 comment

Question from Ronda

Hi Debra –

We received a used Wii game system from a friend. They had been storing the Wii in their closet that also must have had some potporri stored in there. The game controllers all smell like potporri. I’ve tried soaking the wrist straps in baking soda and washing down all the plastic parts, but it still smells. What else do you suggest I try? My kids love this and I don’t want to have to get rid of it. Right now we just keep it in a drawer and it doesn’t bother me until they bring it out to play with it.

Thanks so much!!!

Ronda

    Hi.

    I’m extremely chemically sensitive and am attempting to get rid of strong perfume smell on exterior and interior of refrigerator (not a stainless steel one) that was generously given to us.

    We’ve used vinegar which hasn’t helped much.

    Thanks!

    Dawn
