Help getting the smoke smell out of horse

[Lelliekelliee]

We were kindly gifted one of those large ride on horse toys. It’s in perfect condition and I’d love DD to have it but it has been kept in a house with smokers so smells strongly of smoke.

can I get rid of the smell or do I have to get rid? Any tips?

I thought it was a misspelling until I read your post. No great suggestions. Fabreeze or putting out in the fresh air.

I went from thinking a real horse to an autocorrect fail for house!

Leaving it out in fresh air for a long time would help a lot but I think the smell will always linger a bit. Not really the best time of year to be airing something out unfortunately!

I was wondering what had happened to the poor horse! Toy horse makes more sense 😆

Maybe mix bicarbonate with washing softener and rub it through? Bicarbonate gets rid of smells

Wash it and use a mini Vax to suction off the excess water. Leave it outside in the fresh air to dry. (And hope for the best)

I had visions of someone Febreezing a real horse!

HG Odour eliminator is great, I got some on Amazon to use on a second hand rug.

Can it fit in a black bin bag? If so put it in with a load of bicarb, shake and then leave for a couple of days.

Rub it all over with bicarb. Leave it a few days then vacuum it off

......and don't let your horse smoke, bad for its health 🤣🤣🤣

I was imagining some poor horse in a stable full of smokers and wondering why they don’t smell of horse?! Anyhow to get the smell out I would give it a sponge and leave it outside to dry, weather allowing. That’s worked for a few of my daughters fusty teddies.

Do they still make the anti Tobacco fabreeze? If not then maybe giving it a scrub with some washing powder and leaving it outside for a bit?

Haha, apologies to those who came here expecting to have to report some kind of animal cruelty. I can assure you I do not have a real horse and if I did it would not be allowed to smoke.

Ok, so rub in some bicarbonate of soda and vaccum off. If that doesn’t work then I’ll try HG odour remover- how does that sound for a plan?!

I too was imagining a poor horse that had been in a fire or something 🙈. Glad to see it's a toy horse 😂. I'd wash it with some washing powder and spray with febreeze then leave outside.

Or can you still buy shake n vac?

Was going to ask if vaping was appropriate for your dhorse op...

Vaping would be a lot safer in it's stable than actually smoking.......

I honestly was thinking a real horse had been near a bonfire😂
