Default SMELLS BAD

OK... here is a funny one for you.
The stench of perfume has impregnated my scroth racing harnesses.. after a not so great date. I cant get the stink of this nasty *** perfume out of the harnesses. I removed them and soaked them in water.. then I tried adding dishwashing soap.. let them dry in the air.. still the stink is there. THEN I tried soaking them in wet suit enzyme odor remover.. STILL THE STINK!!!

HELP!

I'd take them off your hands if you could cover shipping.

No worries there Johnny! My toy cars are a no go zone for civilians.


About the belts, one can never be too cautious. I wouldn't put ANY cleaner or chemical stuff on them, but mild soap and water. Just like their manufacturer suggests.

Johnson and Johnson baby powder. Pour in baby powder in paper bag stick in belts. Shake shake shake dust off. Smells baby fresh. Mike

Just trying to understand - the glitter came out, so it's just the smell that's left? Try Borax in the wash. It's pretty good at removing odors. It breaks down cat **** enzymes, so I figure it should work the same on perfume as well.

What are the dates on the belts ? If they are 2013 you'll need new ones for next season anyway..

well.. they are sitting outside airing now.. The smell has reduced a bit but still enough to distract me from my driving!! I might try vinegar! It is the passenger side only though.... unfortunately it did not get on the drivers side anti submarine belt area!!
