The thread title is my goal.
My Dad was a lifelong heavy smoker, it's contributing factor noted on his death certificate.
Anyway, after his passing we were fortunate in that we inherited a number of items, nick-nacks, etc that we'd like to display in our home in honor of my parents. These items have been packed away for 7 years. Today we unpacked some and unfortunately, they reek as much as the day my wife packed them.
So the question is how to lose that stench, without harming the items, which range from various metal figures, to painted ceramics, to wooden, even the woolen afghan my Mom hand crocheted before I was born.
We do know they will NOT just air out placing in the breeze, outside, even in sunlight - tried that with other items already.
So anyone with experience, suggestions? We'd appreciate it.
Thanks
