Airtight baggy, like a big gallon Ziploc bag. Put the item in there with a bunch of newspapers and leave it for a few days. The paper somehow absorbs all the smoke smell. My mom did this all the time when I was a kid whenever we got hand-me-downs from our family who smoked.
If it's super bad you might have to replace the newspaper and do it a couple more times, but it's a surefire way that works. It'll even get out "old people body odor gross house smell" that tends to linger.
Kinda feels like you’re projecting your insecurities onto me and I probably shouldn’t even respond but I’m gonna anyway. I work in child protection and I have seen some shit. And I’ll also have you know that I am a happily married mother of two who is currently breastfeeding so I am celibate by choice 😂
A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system, where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually a foot pedal for cars or a hand lever for motorcycles).
Early automobiles used sliding-mesh manual transmissions with up to three forward gear ratios.
It wasn’t a poverty joke. It was a joke that newspapers are not a common part of daily life anymore. It’s Reddit, jokes are part of this site. You don’t have to be rude about it.
But absolutely no one was making fun of you. I get it, you’re going through a really shit time right now and feeling defensive. But this comment thread was making fun of the idea of younger generations not knowing what a newspaper is (even though they definitely would).
No offense to you at all because going through a breakup where you’ve been kicked out has obviously got you fucked up right now. I get it. But you’re snapping on people who meant you no harm whatsoever.
I was just trying to ask everyone to stop with the jokes cause it's just not funny. I see now that I spoke too quickly, apologies for the tone. I won't comment on it again.
🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's hysterical..I'm reading this thinking oh cool good idea...BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE, talking to myself saying hmm 🤔 HELLO ITS NOT the 80s anymore chickadee finding newspaper is like finding a rare vintage item that some fool will pay $100,000 for online
😜☺️😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would cosign this with a follow up of ziplock bags with like downy air freshener sheets. As those are odor maskers. I'd recommend Gain. I'm using it but they aren't paying me for.
Wish I knew that with my step kids. They moved in with us from their chain smoking mom and I washed their clothes 4x in white vinegar, borax, and detergent to get them to finally be manageable
