Hi,

I am sorry to say that is a lost cause.  Fragrance like pesticides stays

because

fo the additives they add to make it do so.

It will only make you sicker.  Sorry

Subject: [] removing air freshener chemicals

 

Does anyone know how to remove air-freshener chemicals from wood? There was one

plugged into an outlet, which is gone now, but the smell remains in the

surrounding wood, especially the (painted)window frame.

that stuff is capable of permeating sheet rock, I " m sure if it were there long

enough it could penetrate wood

If you want to gain knowledge on the chemicals in fragrances, perfumes,

shampoos, etc to the below websites. I for one will not have pesticides and/or

fragrances inside our home by mutual agreement. We do not miss them at all.

I see that everyone is pretty much in agreement that this is a lost cause but

let me tell you my experience.

I had a niece stay with me for a year and half way through that year I got sick.

She had been using so many perfumes, etc that I could not even go past her room.

Long story short, she left but left me with a toxic room. I tried offgassing it

for about a year and then I folded and spent money to have it painted. It

worked! Now, I don't know if it's the same for air fresheners because they are

really evil but you can try?

Someone told me that a paste of dry mustard & water will remove the fragrance

from anything...even Carpet Fresh in a carpet! I haven't tried it though.

A different version of that is a slurry of Durkee's mustard powder

and washing soda. I'm waiting to try it on painted wood. While

waiting I've left a table top in the garage for two years and only

recently have I noticed a significant reduction. I hope to try the

mustard method soon.

If it works it will be the first success with painted wood in my 25

years of trying.
