Hi
any one have any suggestions on how to clean
smurfs that smell bad ? I won a lot on ebay they smell so
bad like basement . I cant even keep them in the house .
I was wondering if any one has had this problem and if you
were able to get the smell off of them ??

I have had quite a few which stinks cigarette's smoke...

The first thing I did was to quickly get rid off all the packagung they came in, then I left them in the open air for a few days... It sort of works but you can still smell the smoke if they are put bag in a plastic bag.

If anyone knows of a solution, I'm also very interested!

i think i may have mentioned this before.....but gently scrub them w/ a toothbrush, baking soda and water......it helps.....i let the baking soda sit on them after i scrubbed them a bit......i think it helped absorb the scent some....

Hi Margaret / David,

I asked a similar question at this thread... http://www.forum.bluecavern.com/viewtop ... ight=smoke

I have tried quite hard. Formula 911 has given be the best results so far, after leaving the smurfs to air for a week / two. The strong lemony type smell has managed to get rid of most of the smell, particularly if used more than once.

Wow! Imagine trying all that on the same Smurf! :)

Thanks for this info guys and girls!

Important Message to Karen: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! This is for PVC smurf only and although the title of this thread may make you think about someone else: Do not try this on HIM!

... just thought I'd clear that out....

LOL okay.

For a Stinky person he actually smells quite sweet!

Damn.....I was hoping for an educational list of things Karen uses on Stinky.......fruit maybe?....station wagon when disagreeable perhaps?

Thank you everyone for your ideas I will have to try them
on the poor stinky smurfs !!

I had some really dirty smurfs that where marker colored. I first used remove zit then scrubbed them with a toothbrush, then soaked them in bleach over night. To my amazement the white came really clean (at least the parts that I really put remove zit on) and it did not take off the paint. The orange scented bleach made them smell nice too, Of course I should mention I tried this out on low grade smurfs that came on there last breath of life!! But I was thinking too on some of my regular smurfs that have there whites not as white no more to maybe give them a good soaking.

Yeh I used Remove Zit on Stinky, he used to have freckles and now you can just see straight through him. I used a little on different areas of his head and now he doubles as a sieve, and when I stick him in the dishwasher he doesn't go rusty so that's really good.

Ok I will get back in my box now, I promise. I'm really busy at the moment with some work stuff so I shouldn't even be on here!
