Removing Cigarette Smoke Odor
How do I remove cigarette smoke from unwashable items?
I purchased many electonic items from an auction recently. I got them home and they stink of cigarette smoke. I can't actually "wash" or spray much of anything on them. They are a tv, laptop, cd's, etc etc. Any ideas on how to remove the odor?

The sun removes odors. It depends on the temperature where you live, of course, and the temperature outside, and the humidity, but you can definitely put the CDs in direct sunlight if it's below 90 degrees outside.
Since there is probably a surface residue of tar and goop from smoke, also use a damp cloth with some Cinch. I wipe all my electronics with that. Even the "business" side of CDs. Doesn't hurt them.
Don't try to cover it up with other smells. That won't last long.
I did this to remove the horrible stale cigarette smell from our car - the previous owners smoked heavily in it.
