How can I remove the "cat smell" from family photos?

Question

I just recently had a relative pass away that had a lot of cats......we found some photos that mean a lot to the family....but they smell terrible. Is there any way to get rid of the smell? Or at least weaken it so it is tolerable?

Answer 1

You don't want to spray anything on the photos, that will ruin them. You can put them in a box with Fabreze, dryer sheets, moth balls, or whatever, but that will take time to work.

If you want to enjoy the photos now, get copies made. A good photo place can make copies that look just as good as the originals. That way everyone in the entire family can have a set of the pictures.

Answer 2

1 Throw away the original box.
2 Air them out for a while. DAYS!
3 put dryer sheets in a box with them, underneath the photos and maybe tape one or two to the lid of the box.

Answer 3

sounds like the cats might have urinated on the box or something.

first off change boxes or items that the pictures are in, prefer something new. next you could put a few moth balls in there for a while, like in a sealed box. or maybe a paper towel soaked in fabreeze..don't spray the pictures direct.

Answer 4

Wipe the photo and try to find a chemical that you can spray it with... You could smudge deoterant on it. I know a great smelling deoderent. It smells like strawberry.

Answer 5

Wrap them in dryer sheets for a few days

Answer 6

we've greater pictures of the cats than we do of human kin contributors! people think of we are loopy yet to me cats have a short life span while in comparison with us, you only ought to catch each 2nd you have with them. enormously while they're kittens, they enhance up so quickly!

Answer 7

Spray deodorant on them and hang em outside for a day or two
