I bought a stack of books that were in a house fire and i tried everything. They're always going to smell like smoke. The smell always comes back. $\:\($ That is not good to hear. _________________________ Bosco685 Kudos

skypinkblu skypinkblu I'm just the coordinator. Just? TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 07/01/05 Posts: 15099 Loc: WESTCHESTER NY (like the X-Men...	I did this years ago and it works...put baking soda (about an inch) or you can leave them in small open boxes, in a plastic container, the kind you put under your bed for storage, or the kind you use for recycling stuff...put the wire baking racks that you use to cool things after they come out of the oven on the bottom of the container. Leave some backing boards on top of the racks, so there are no indentations. Put the comics on top of the backing boards (I used the non acid ones...I also added some micro chamber paper, figured it would not hurt. Leave it for a while...I have done it with cigarette smoke and it did work...never tried kitty litter, but it's probably easier to empty out later. Good luck!

catrick339 catrick339 Pedigreed Registered: 11/02/07 Posts: 5082 Loc: michigan	If you have a garage or basement where the smell won't bother you, just open the items to the centefood, leave them laying flat (spine down) and ignore them for a few weeks. I've never had a comic yet that smelled bad that didn't improve just by a long airing... _________________________ So Many Books, So Little Time!

I bought a bunch of those PS magazines that were mentioned in another thread, and they reek of smoke! What do I do (seriously, don't tell me to throw them out.) Place them in a closet, light several incense and close the door for 2 hours.

You should stay in the closet for the full 2 hours to monitor the situation.
