maiq the liar Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 So, what would you reccomend doing to remove skunk odor from my Lego city? My dogs got skunked, and while my sister went out to get Skunk odor remover, they were left in the mud room (Which is where my city is...). I went in there, and it was like a war zone. Despite my best Febreze-ings, the room still smells (the dogs were in there for a hour). is there any way i can save my city? Quote
Guss Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Errffff bad luck :/ I really have no Idea how to remove it .... maybe "febreze" it everyday, but it seems that you already tried :/ Quote
maiq the liar Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Dang. i suppose this really does mean a new start for golden county... The train lines... The docks... Everything... Down the drain. Damn. Of course, if i wait a while, the odor may go away. after all, skunk spray is technically a organic compound, which means it can decay.

Zorro Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 1° Use some odor reppelant (a lot of it), ONE THAT CHEMICALLY BINDS !!!(I hope I express this correctly, but you mean which type of odor reppelant I mean...) 2° Open all windows and/or doors, and create a "flow"(you get this by opening windows on both sides of your house and having no closed doors between the rooms that have these windows) 3° Wash your Lego,floors and walls with water and standard soap. Keep your "flow" while doing so, and for at least half an hour afterwards. This should do the trick, if not: repeat and use stronger soap/odor reppelant Quote
Lego12 Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Ooooh, I have a great idea! Dip them in Tomato juice! Ok, no seriously you should leave it alone for a couple of days and the smell should go away.... Sucks for you.... Lego12 Edited October 5, 2008 by lego12 Quote
Jones Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Have you tried soaking or spraying your pieces in white vinegar? I've never tried it on Lego, but a few years ago there was a huge fire in my apartment building and while nothing I owned was damaged, smoke pervaded all my belongings and the odor was positively choking. I couldn't believe how a shot of vinegar in the washing machine completely erased ALL thick stink in my clothes. It was startlingly impressive. Maybe try soaking a few bricks in vinegar and rinse them and see if it works? Remember to use WHITE vinegar and not balsamic! Quote
maiq the liar Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 Huh. i just plan to let it spend the next year or so airing out, and start a "Golden county lite" in the basement while i wait. Oh, and i made a "immersion"* video, it's processing on youtube now. *i tend to make little videos about my city, I.E TV shows and the like as a way to make the city seem a bit more alive, in a way.

Athos Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 What a strangely funny topic. I think tomato juice would be a good place to start. Steve Quote
maiq the liar Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) Actually, i checked out the city and it didn't smell bad at all. I've moved most everything down to the basement and REALLY need to take a shower. (The Mudroom itself still smells kinda bad, Plus the fact that i got all sweaty and i'm not wearing deodorant ). The stuff is all sitting on a table in the basement, i'll arrange it later. Edited October 6, 2008 by maiq the liar Quote
Corvus Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Well, I'm not sure if this'll work or not, but... If you leave a case of apples to rot in a car, it will remove a lot of smells (urine, gore, etc...) It works really well. The car will smell like apples after you're done. I have no idea if this will work in a room or not, but hey, why not? (unless, of course, you are starving and cannot let the apples go to waste ) Quote
