I felt a bit silly watching this, as I use vinegar alot and have a spray bottle of it ready to go. I gave it a go about 10 days ago with some super stinky tubs I bought for under-bed linen and towel storage. My previous attempts to just rinse out with water did little. But I think this got results. I filled one up with freshly washed towels and maybe it has the slightest hint of plastic now. I'll probably seek out a few chunks of charcoal to ensure freshness. But I just wanted to say thanks.
do you think these methods will help for a rather soft plastic (it's an iPad cover)? It has that "amazon" stink to it... thanks for any help! (and yes i will try these now, thanks)
Your video is still useful and appreciated! I recently bought collapsible cat carriers, and normal wiping and airing still left a toxic odor that gave ME a headache- how could I put my kitties in there?! I’m looking forward to trying your techniques on them.
i washed out 2 of 4 bins i got they smell really bad and strange enough there is clear jell beads coming off it don't know what it is, very strange though. but i will try this method in my new bins tomorrow! thanks for the video !
use white vinegar for light-colored leather, and apple cider vinegar for dark leather. You'll want to dilute the vinegar with water, using a 1 to 4 ratio of vinegar to water.
@@peejm1424 Nobody's forcing anyone to use cheap plastic tubs lol. It's a price point thing.. If you can afford to store your goods in pelican cases or timber chests. You won't experience this problem. So shop accordingly. :)
@@M3rVsT4H I don't have a problem with your video, I understand that it was posted so that it might help others, I'm sure many appreciate it. My problem is that regardless of the price, manufacturers should not be allowed to sell neurotoxic products. I bought a rug in July that I cannot use because it is still emitting a flood of chemicals. I have to keep putting it outside because the smell coming off it burns the inside if my nose and throat and gives me headaches. I paid 350.00 bucks for it. I tried to take it back but was told that all they could give me was a store credit. Other than that nobody even wants to talk to me about it. As I was researching what I could do about it I came across posts about all kinds of bad plastics, everything from kid's mattresses to clothing. I just can't believe that they are allowed to keep doing it. Anyway...
@@peejm1424 Just for clarity, not my vid. But I hear ya. There is some nasty stuff out there. And the big problem we have as consumers is "Acceptable Limits". Because what one lab finds acceptable, your nose may not. And all we can do is inform ourselves and make informed decisions. And usually that leads to spending more. A wool rug would have cost you 5 times as much, but you wouldn't have this problem. On balance.. Unless you've got that kinda cash to spend, you wouldn't have a rug at all.. So there has to be a balance point. And I don't support blanket banning of certain products for that reason. In my case with my plastic containers. If I was storing paint tins or firewood in them, I wouldn't even care about the smell. But I put linen in them and I've learned a lesson. I will likely make some timber boxes to replace them, and relegate them to the shed. FWIW, the techniques outlined in this vid will probably work for your rug too. The off-gassing of VOC's that are giving you headaches won't last forever, and at least you know your plastic rug will dry off quickly. I did a bit of reading and aside from a dusting of bicarb or a weak vinegar solution, some ppl suggested a good soak in Tide got them results with their smelly rugs. Best of luck with it, I get headaches from VOC's too, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Dont wave your fingers/rag close to the camera, this isnt TIK TOK. I dont think the baking soda is going to do anything. The vinegar was my choice. Was looking for comfirmation.

Hi i just got new pet carrier bag there is strong leather smell in it. How to make it smell free
use white vinegar for light-colored leather, and apple cider vinegar for dark leather. You'll want to dilute the vinegar with water, using a 1 to 4 ratio of vinegar to water.
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you very much
You are welcome and always God bless😇
Thank you
You're welcome😇
Why should the consumer have to do this?
this video was done for a many subscribers who do not like the plastic smell in new products works for me God bless😇
@@mbjdiy1778 I'm saying that they shouldn't be able to sell this stinky product to begin with.
