About a week ago I received this adorable gem of a pony (she's a set finisher for me). I was ecstatic to finally have this lady joining my herd! Then I removed her from the mail envelope and it hit me hard.... that unforgettable smell of cigarette smoke.
I contacted the seller (on etsy) and sent a message of my distaste for her not listing this pony reeked of cigarette smoke. She apologized and said she'd list if her ponies were from a "smoking home" in the future.
Now I'm at a dilemma of how to remove this smell permanently to display her in a closed case like my other mail orders. I've tried febreeze, airing her outside, baking soda in a sealed ziploc bag, and I've even washed her. Nothing seems to work. That pungent odor still plagues my darling baby. My husband's friend suggested wrapping her in dryer sheets for a few weeks in a sealed bag so I might even try that. If anyone here has any good suggestions I'm all ears... I really want to save this little girl and have her join the others
