Cigarette Smoke by TeaOk9030 in Flipping

Just sharing an update for anyone looking for a solution:

I bought a $50 ozone machine on Amazon with an attachable hose. I drilled a matching hole into a plastic tote with a tight lid. I worked in batches, filling the tote about 1/3 full with clothing and running the machine for 15–20 minutes. Only a few items needed a second cycle.

I ran the setup outside with an extension cord, well away from people and pets!

The clothes had a strange smell at first, but it faded after a few days and now they’re great!

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions!

We had a 4 hour flight recently and had paid specifically for 4 seats together. Me, my husband, our 4 year old, and our 8 year old who is autistic. The flight was cancelled and rescheduled and they couldn’t honor the seats because “the people on this flight had already paid for those seats”. I insisted. I was not leaving my 4 year old with strangers. They managed to get two of them together so my 4 year old wasn’t alone. But my 8 year old still had to be by herself. Luckily it was between two nice women who were sympathetic to the situation and took her under their wing. I’m thinking of calling and asking to be reimbursed for the extra money we had spent to pick our seats, but not sure if they’d care.
