How do I get the STRONG PLASTIC smell out of my new purse?

Question

I put it outside last night, and it still smells like some serious plastic. I obviously can't spray it down, because the spray won't absorb. what do i do?

Answer 1

Better idea - activated carbon. There are different types and some just work better. I have the perfect product that I've used for years and know dozens of other people that use it. It is a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a little purple cube with an incredible activated carbon filter inside that is really, really, great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays and fragrances that just cover up smells and doesn't get rid of them. Also, alot of sprays have warning statements about being eye irritant. The carbon literally absorbs and eliminates the odors and works for a long time. Just placeone in your bag. No mess! I use this product everywhere including car(smoke and pet smells), storage, closets, my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Someone else even said available in England. Definitely worth trying

Answer 2

Wow must be vinyl of some type and that takes time to go away. I prefer leather love the smell of that. Might try some fabreeze spay that gets rid of odors.

Answer 3

have you tried washing it out with a soapy cloth. spray a little perfume in it to try and air it out. the smell will go away im sure, just think of a new shower curtain liner, those things rot when you first buy em.
