I brought myself a lovely multi coloured shoulder bag for the summer,

it has handles made from wooden beads. But that's where i have a

problem the beads absolutely stink....i think they must have been laid

in mothballs for some reason.

I just cant get the smell out no what i do and i cant use the bag

because every time i turn my head i can smell it :x

Any idea's what i can do to get rid of the pong.
 
Leave it outside in the fresh air for a few days, that should sort it.
 
(w00t) dont you just love k9 - we can ask anything (w00t) (w00t)

Soak the handles for only a minute or two in warm water and bicarb - then leave outside for a few days ??? :luck: :luck:
 
No its been left outside for a few days, it's been through my

washing machine and left out to dry naturally but it still stinks :(
 
Febreeze? Can't make it smell any worse by the sounds of it.
 
put some lavender oil on it and let soak in ......Debs(moonglow) swears by it (w00t)
 
Used a whole bottle......one of those little brown ones....

and could still smell the moth balls and it took the glaze

of the beads :unsure:

I think i may have to take them of and make new handles

somehow.

I sure do Nik,but i think in this case it needs something a bit stronger....what about Eucalyptus oil,that might do the trick :thumbsup:
 
Mmm that will have to wait until i go into town i have some

Eucalyptus and Mint T-bags but no oil :lol: :lol:
 
What about varnishing them with a few coats of clear nail varnish/ wood varnish - might seal in the stink :thumbsup:
 
if the beads are just wooden,what about some briwax,
 
Yes I would use Lavender oil too or failing that Cinnamon oil..is a nice strong one.... I keep all of them in the house for various ..yes the Ecylyptus is a strong one too...

Id sprinkle it onto newspaper or old cloths, and stuff the bag and leave it for a few nights....and see if that does the trick... :thumbsup:
 
Hi....Have you tried vinegar ? I can`t think of anything else, you`ve tried everything ! :blink:
