I might have to go for the Febreeze, Briva!
Right now, it smells of cigarette smoke AND vinegar!
I only paid 1.99 for it, so I hate to spend more than that to clean it up!

I recently got a suitcase at the thrift store - it smells of cigarette smoke. Anyone know any great tried & true ways of dealing with the odor? I have aired it out - it still needs help. |

Could you try some baking soda? Maybe those odor balls for sneakers? Fabric softener sheets? Isnt there something people use for cat urine on carpets? |

I was going to say mist with vinegar, also. Or mabye Baking soda then close it up, so the soda will absorb the odor.... |

Thanks for all the suggestions! I've been saturating it with a vinegar spray, and leaving it out in the sun/air to dry. It seems to have improved quite a bit. I paid 1.99 for it, and figured it was worth the gamble : ) |

dd once found an oilskin coat(couldnt wash it) that was really nice but REAKED of cigarette smoke. I hung it outside in the sunshine and sprayed it with febreeze on and off, it eventually released that awful smell. |

OOh febreeze is great. I can only tolerate the original scent but yes, it's good stuff. |

Have you tired baking soda?? Just open a box and set it inside the suitcase and close the suit case... then just let is sit like that for a few days? Baking soda is supposed to absorb odors. |

Maybe I should try baking soda - I'm a little skeptical on it, but maybe it could work? It's amazing how strong cigarette odor gets when you're not used to it any more! |
