We just got given some lovely toys but the smell of smoke is overwhelming. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Depending on the toy...

We bought a car a couple of years ago that had such a strong smoke smell the only thing that finally worked was to place cotton balls soaked in vanilla around the car (under seats, in the trunk...) It finally took the smell out.

Thanks. For some reason these didn't come up as Active Topics so I just saw them.

Seal them in a plastic bag with activated charcoal (usually this can be bought in stores that sell fish tanks and aquariums). The charcoal works wonders absorbing smells.
