Trainers smell of cigarettes!

I bought some AF1s from vinted , very good condition- but they stink of cigarettes! It’s awful!
I have put them through the washing machine twice, on the 30 minute wash, I have scrubbed with flash, washing up liquid, and wiped over with anti bacterial wipes.
anything else I can try before they go in the charity bag?
TIA

Try putting them in the freezer over night?

Take up smoking? You will very quickly not notice the trainer smell

I've heard of a sort of smoke bomb type thing that valeters use on cars not sure if that would work or how.

Or baking soda / white vinegar if you want a cheaper option Grin

Thank you I’ll try those ideas - might try the smoking one if all else fails 😁
how does putting them in the freezer help? I’m intrigued!
