Help: Removing Odor From Game Used Item

[Jcfowler6]

Baking soda is very good at removing smoke smell. I purchased a collection once that was from a long time smoker. Worked like a charm. I took a larger cooler put items in it. Taped shut with duct tape after I placed an open box of baking soda. No need to pour any out. Just cut open top of the baking soda box. Place inside with items. Tape shut. I gave it a month. Not sure if it would take less time. the smell was gone when I opened it.

Relieved we weren’t discussing pants.

I was thinking, specifically, of the pants Kruk was wearing during the 1993 All Star game:

Awesome, let us know how it worked. They make baking soda packaging that you just open both sides of the box that has a flo-thu design. They would work great for something like this.

I am a little late but I use Mycomist. I have the pump spray bottle and it works wonders. It is basically the concentrated stuff they use in bowling shoes. So it kills anything bad along with odor control. I am using it on 4 vintage BB gloves now.

Do you believe the baking soda trick would work for old magazines? Have a number of Sports Illustrated magazines from the 1960s that have a musty smell to them. They do not appear to have water damage or mildew, but have a distinct dingey basement smell.

Would sealing them in a tub with an opened box of baking powder relieve some of this odor?
