What was that stuff everyone was raving about a while ago...I think it was called Fabreeze or something like that? I saw a commercial, but I haven't been able to find it in any stores. If someone has seen it in Canada, please let me know. I'm tired of having to wash my clothes after one wear because of cigarette smoke and the like. :(

P.S. Please post and e-mail if you can...I won't have computer access for the weekend.

it's called febreze and it does indeed work. my mum got it in a boston supermarket for me.
it was 2.99 for 500mls. and it's made by procter & gamble. they must have a website, so maybe if you do a websearch and find an email contact, they'll be able to tell you more about stockists etc.
sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Y'know, a 1:3 ratio of vodka:water works just as well. (Seriously! Old theatre trick. Every shop i've worked in has used it.)

My mother got it at a grocery store too, but I am pretty sure they also sell it at WalMart, Target, etc. It definitely does work: we have a leather jacket lying around the house that has an utterly ratty lining in it, which for a while stank of cigarette smoke, because a few weeks after being given the jacket third- hand by one of her brothers, my mother left a cigarette butt lying in the pocket. I also wore it to clubs a lot. The thing was utterly *stenchful* until she sprayed it with Febreeze a few months ago... while I was on vacation... and now it just smells like a leather jacket.
Still needs a new lining, though. (and we're still arguing about who it belongs with)

for cigarette smells, or for stinkies in general?
(i know this is rather an silly question, as how would excessive cigarette smells get onto theatrical costumes, but i just want to confirm...)

Jen my little Chiquita! You forget I'm in the U.S. now? I can score some for you!
*Daednu -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ I wear glitter on the outside ~ ~ 'cause glitter is how I feel on the inside. ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a question re Febreeze, which I have, and tried to use, and it did nothing.
I recently found out that my ruby/fuchsia wig, which has been packed for the 2 months I've been home from vacation (erm, already? well, anyways, I haven't needed it...), smells weirdly musty. Like something that has been in an attic for a while. But it is *not* moldy... no obvious discoloration or "rot", just a really unlovely smell.
So my question is... how can I kill this smell? It's only a $30 Lulu-bob wig, but I have only worn it *once*. I already tried spraying Febreeze on it last night, and it didn't seem to help much... the Febreeze smell faded after a few hours, but the musty smell remained.
Any ideas?

Vodka & water solution, i'm tellin' ya. Spray it, hang it where it'll get a crossbreeze, & it should be fine.

Yup. Put it in a mister, spray it (more so in areas like pits & such), & hang it somewhere where it'll get a crossbreeze. In summer stock we hung them outside on a line, but in front of a window or vent works fine.

General stench. Any stench. Smoke, sweat, etc.

But Rachel... all I have is Stoli Razberi! *g*
frogs and fishes from Elizabeth who is really more concerned that her wig might have some weird mold thing going... but it's been hanging up for 24 hours and is now starting to just have "cheap wig smell" (which is always a little musty and unpleasant anyhow)

I would have found sever problems in actually putting the vodka in the mister.
The scene:
"But it's good vodka! Alright, well, it's vodka. Maybe closer to meths. Well, I spill vodka all over myself when I go out anyway, can't I just wear perfume until then?"

didn't you say the wig was fuschia... or rather, *raspberry*?? it works out nicely! you could have a razzzberi [vodka] scented wig!! :} (not that i know, but i'd imagine razzzzberi vodka woudn't actually smell like a razzzzzberi anyway. ignore me.)
love and light, ~*~Carly, who really just wanted to be able to say razzzzzzzberi.

Buy a $5 bottle of Popov.

If it's mold, i'd just throw it away & order a new one. The hassle you'd have getting rid of it would be worth avoiding for $30, IMB.

Washed that human hair wig I had for exactly that reason - and what a mess that became! erg, but at least Entropy came over (she had been trained in wig maintenance and things-to- do-with-wigs) and took a look and said it was salvageable...
It did get rid of the smell, however....
If you have a synthetic wig, synthetic wig cleaners are at Sally's. The human hair wigs need another kind of procedure, which I'm not too up on so I'd have to bug Entropy abt it. lXs
