Getting rid of smoke from curtains. Any ideas?

[pookamoo]

DD1 bought a pair of curtains in a charity shop to make a "princess costume". They are moderately heavy weight synthetic fibre.

I've washed them and dried them and I think they have a whiff of cigarette smoke about them

DD spent some of her holiday pocket money on them and really wants to use them for her dress (she's 7!).

I've left them on the line and they will stay out fine for a couple more days, but does anyone have any tips for getting them clean? They don't absolutely pong or I would have noticed when they came out of the bag, but I don't fancy adding them to the dressing up box as they are!

Hey,

My husband smokes around the house and find the odour to get stuck on certain things like curtains, sofas etc etc. I use this cleanerto g et rid of the smell. A couple of sprays of this on your curtains should do the trick.

I'd bung them back through the wash with a bit of white vinegar. That stuff seems to be able to cut all smells it's awesome!

Try to wash them with Lenor
It will kill awfull smoke but give another one but more nice.

Cigarette smoke is greasy - so I'd wash them as hot as they will take with some washing soda....
Then a normal wash and long time in the fresh air...

Was also about to suggest white vinegar, works a charm and cheap.
