Removing Cigarette Smell on Cards (1 Viewer)

Hey party people, I've got a great setup of COPAGs that smell like smoke a little too much for me to put into action even during casual games.


Has anyone combated this successfully? I put them in baking soda in a sealed container, no luck, still clings to them. Open to ideas.

Ok, I'll see myself out.

I don't like the smell of Copags when they're brand new. They can get worse?

They are plastic, I think just luke warm water, some dawn dish soap, a soft sponge or just swirling it around in the soapy water.

Edit: Just found this: https://www.copagusa.com/pages/cleaning-instructions So cold water, maybe no dawn, or just a few drops? Dawn seems like the gentlest.

Maybe a few drops of vinegar or light acid (e.g lemon juice) may help with removing the odour?

I'd be slightly worried about acid, but household vinegar or lemon juice is probably fine.

I was gonna suggest baking soda for the smoke smell. Put in the water swirl around to dissolve so no grittiness on the cards.

OR... put the little bit of acid in first, then the cards, swirl around, then sprinkle baking soda and make a fizzy bath for the cards.

That'll definitely make the cards POP out a little more after their soak

In Japan, tea leaves are used as a deodorizer.
Maybe, black tea can be used in the same way.
