Ok, I bought some late 70s/early 80s Strawberry Shortcake dolls for my sister for Christmas off of EBay. When I opened them, I noticed they smell pretty bad. I didn't expect the original smell to still be there after 28 years, but these smell pretty musty. I imagine they've been in storage for a long time.
Any collectors out there know any secrets to get rid of this smell? I'm also a collector of vintage toys, but none of my stuff has this oder. I took care of the stink in the clothes with Clorox 2 and baking soda, and it made the clothes look better too, but the actual dolls still smell. I've cleaned them in a solution of dish soap, they've been sitting in baking soda for a week, and it's still there. Any one have any ideas? I'd like for the smell to be gone before I wrap them up.
Thanks a lot.

Try vinegar and water solution one part vinegar two part water, it doesnt leave a water ring on the toy. I do have a problem with the toys i sell i usually santize them by running them through a wash cycle and then lettign them air dry in the sun. then after that i usually, but not all the time spray the toys that im selling with frebreeze.
