Help! I just bought a nice pair of sneakers at a thrift store and got them home and then noticed they smell like smoke. I don't want to wash them, and I have them sitting outside but does anyone have any ideas to get the smell out? Thanks!

I had a Fez that I purchased from a heavy smoker.. what I did was fresh sunshine air.. then when I had to bring it in.. I'd put it in it's case with a lavender sachet.. then repeat... the smell did finally fade away.

You could try spraying them with vinegar and or maybe letting them sit in baking soda for a long time?

I just used a scented soap inside for awhile or charcoal also works (the kind you put in fish tanks). Good luck

Good ideas. I have some lavender oil I mixed and sprayed on them, and I'll just leave em out side for a few days. Thanks guys! Carol
