Stinky Radio & Battery Pack

[Tonysal123]

Good Day Group, So I just received delivery of a XTS3k radio & battery, and both have a strong smell of laundry detergent- Fabreeze. I have tried soap & water, alcohol, left in a sealed box with baking soda for days. Still smells, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My go to was always denatured alcohol (safe on plastics) and a wipe down with Armor-All afterwards. Not sure that'll get rid of the smell completely, but it always cleaned up the nastiest radios.

Thx Mate, I’ll definitely try that.

If that doesn't work, simple green and a tooth brush and scrub the stink off it.

Maybe put them in a box with a couple of dryer sheets. It's what I use to get cigarette smell out of cars. A sheet in the front seat and a sheet in the back overnight.

Thx, tried using dryer sheets, not much luck in removing the smell. I think this method works better for cigarette smoke than this perfume type smell.
