how to remove smoke odor from scrapbook pages?
Suffered a house fire and scrapbooks were exposed to heat and smoke and looking for a way to save the existing pages as opposed to re-doing over 12 albums. A: If you have a container large enough, place several of the pages inside and in a smaller container or bowl that can be placed in such a way inside the container so as not spill, place cotton balls soaked in white vinegar. Cover the container and leave in a place that it will not be disturbed for a few days. The cotton balls should help absorb the smoke smell and the white vinegar smell will dissipate after a day or two after the pages are removed from the container. The cotton balls soaked in white vinegar. (in an open container), placed in a vehicle for a day or two helps remove smoke smell from it too. (I had worked for a used car dealership.) You can also place the pages in a tight lidded container with crumpled newspaper or even try placing them in a tight lidded container with a box of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda.
