How to Get Smoke Odor Out of Toys

Getting rid of that nasty smoke odor can be a hassle, but with the right methods it will be gone in no time. The last thing you want is for your smoking habit to impact your children. However, when you smoke inside the home, everyone is affected. There is not one definite way to get smoke odor out of toys, so prepare to take several approaches.

Things You'll Need

Fabric softener
Odor-eliminating spray
Washing machine/dryer
Baking soda

Instructions

- 1
  Sit the toys outside for at least a week. By doing this you are airing the smoke out of the toys. Bring the toys back in to see if the smoke odor is gone. If not, sit the toys back outside for two to three more days.
- 2
  Place fabric softener sheets on the toys. Fabric sheets are extremely potent. They will quickly replace the odor of the smoke.
- 3
  Spray the toys with an odor-eliminating spray. Ensure that you spray the toys down at least twice a day. Do not let your children play with the toys while the strong fragrance of the spray is on the toys.
- 4
  Wash and dry the toys if they are stuffed animals or suitable for the washing machine. Be sure to use strong-scented detergent.
- 5
  Cover the toys in baking soda. Let the baking soda sit on the toys for about an hour. This should help to absorb the smoke odor. Wash or wipe the baking soda off the toys.
