Suggestions on how to get smoke smell out of dvds???
I recently bought several dvds off Half.com from the same seller and all were in the condition described for great prices. The problem is the owner must smoke like a train. As soon as I opened the package, you could tell it and have no idea how to remedy this.
I thought about switching the cases but the outer insert & even the dvd smell strongly of smoke. I was afraid to put them in my dvd case for fear they might spread their stench to my other dvds. Any suggestions? |
You could try boiling them.
|
switch the outer cases, and then let them sit in your non-smoking room with your collection for a few months. That's really the remedy that works. I've had this issue with a couple of online purchases, and the smell eventuallly went away.
|
Or, you can take some windex and spray the cases to clean them off. It works for me - I've even used it on CD cases.
|
Put them in new cases and stick them ouside, thats what I did, and after a couple of afternoons in the cool air, the smell was totally gone.
|
Stick them in a ziplock bag or a sealed container, cases and all, and put in either a charcoal briquette or a small container of baking soda. It might take a few days but it should draw the smell out.

i was wondering about this awhile back after i bought a dvd off someone on the exchange list. never did anything about it or checked if the smell is has disappeared.
