How to Get the Cigarette Smell out of Beanie Babies

Remove cigarette smoke from Beanie Babies with baking soda.

Cigarette smell is a strong odor that is difficult to remove. When you have smokers in the home, the smoke is always present and permeates any fabric. Stuffed animals quickly collect the unpleasant smell. If you have a Beanie Baby collection, you've probably noticed how fast the smell accumulates. Fortunately, deodorizing the Beanie Babies is fairly easy and can be done with a low-cost product that is probably already in your home.

Things You'll Need

• Baking soda
• Plastic grocery bag
• Spray bottle
• White vinegar
• Bowls

Instructions

1. Sprinkle the Beanie Babies with baking soda and place them in a grocery bag. Tie the bag shut and let it sit overnight. The baking soda will naturally absorb the odor from the Beanie Babies, removing the smoke smell quickly.

2. Remove the Beanie Babies the next day and shake them off over a trash can or outdoors to remove the baking soda.

3. Fill a spray bottle with vinegar and mist over the Beanie Babies if you notice any leftover cigarette smell. The vinegar will naturally deodorize without fading or damaging the Beanie Babies.

4. Set bowls of vinegar or baking soda around your home to absorb cigarette smoke. This will help neutralize the odor in the home and will reduce the amount of smoke that collects on the Beanie Babies.
