Hello to all,
Thank for your suggestions on how to deodorize nicotine infused books. I had many replies, and I also had a lot of requests that I would share these results. Here is how respondents are fixing this problem.
- A commercial ozone generator -- https://www.amazon.com/
Concise-Home-Commercial- Generator-Deodorizer/dp/ B06XV9S1DQ/ref=sr_1_6?s=home- garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1528749056& sr=1-6&keywords=ozone+ generator - Cat litter (with zeolite)
- Dryer sheets
- Cedar chips -- commonly for sale in pet stores
- Febreze wax melt air fresheners
- Newspaper -- packed around the books in a closed container
- Charcoal -- I think this is untreated, dry, charcoal rather than charcoal pre-treated with lighter fluid.
- Essential oil drops on fabric
I confess I am leaning toward trying the ozone generator, cat litter, and charcoal. We have experimented with methods that introduce new smells and I have heard some complaints.Best,

Subject: [Michlib-l] Deodorizing Smelly Books
Hello All,
We are experimenting with ways to remove tobacco smells from books. Have any of you developed a good process for removing this cigarette smell?
Thanks,
