We bought the child a new bike, the husband brought home brand new rubber boots for summer fishing, relatives gave the child a whole bag of rubber toys. And now you have no idea how to get rid of this strong smell, which seems to "soak" every thing in the house. The question of how to get rid of the unpleasant odor also worries motorists who have put new rubber mats in the car's interior or have just “changed” their “iron horse”.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to figure out the origin of the source of the odor. That is, of course, you may know that the unpleasant, pungent smell of rubber comes from the wheels of a bicycle or baby stroller. But keep in mind that mainly products made from low-quality rubber have a strong "aroma". They are toxic and can cause not only headaches, but also much more serious consequences. Think about it: maybe it is worth getting rid of not an unpleasant smell, but its source?
Step 2
Use quality air fresheners. The modern chemical industry offers many quality products for eliminating unpleasant odors, including the smell of rubber. Choose a pleasant, long-lasting scent such as citrus or lavender.
Step 3
Use proven folk remedies. In order to get rid of the rubber smell emanating from children's toys, the following advice is offered: you need to brew a mixture of dry mint and lemon balm leaves in boiling water and add a few drops of aromatic oil to the resulting "tea leaves". In this solution, you need to place rubber toys overnight. Tested - the smell of rubber disappears almost without a trace. In the event that the smell of rubber comes from the clothes, it is usually sufficient to wash the item in an automatic washing machine with the addition of a good conditioner.
Step 4
Ventilate the area thoroughly. If you cannot get rid of the rubber smell in the room, you should open all windows, especially in summer. It is also recommended to hang wet towels in the room, preferably terry towels. The fact that wet towels absorb foreign odors well has been repeatedly tested in practice. As for the car interior, you should also ventilate it and carry out a thorough damp cleaning. Quality car air fresheners may be helpful in your situation.
