Perfumes have become a bane of society.
At the same time, we may have to encounter the worst of two evils – or simply exit the room.
Right now we have a lacquer smell in some cloth – attached to a seat that we use regularly. Removal of the cloth is not an easy task. But the odour can become overwhelming, or at least irritating.
I did the “Google thing” and came up with what may be a unique solution. Both literally and figuratively.
The suggestion was to apply alcohol (chemical interaction?) and to have a neutral or inoffensive smell included. As I searched, one option arose. Use pure vanilla extract (the 35% alcohol kind!).
So, this morning, I diluted some pure vanilla extract with some water and sprayed it on the material. I’m expecting by midday, the offending cloth will either stink pretty or pretty much stink!
