Author: Daniel Vettori

In this field, it is especially important to take into account the cleanliness of the object; whether you are a buyer or a seller, a ww2 item cannot be too clean. Some of the items are innocuous and can be easily washed whereas some of them retain the odor and these worsen with time. For instance, before you sell WW2 bayonet you do not have to do much to polish it. It may not be the same for other items.

Yes, as of today, there are so many odor remover products out in the market but general household supplies are still on top when it comes to gentle odor remover without causing harm. Here are 3 ways to get rid of smells using things that are likely in your house at the moment.

Absorb odors

Sunlight is also effective in eradicating a range of bacteria; hence, put a moderately thick fabric cover on the item and place it under the sun for several hours. This should eliminate majority of lingering odors if not all or before the next car comes in for its turn to be washed.

To avoid worsening the condition of some of the ww2 memorabilia, never wash with water. Indeed, some may even get worse when soaked for some time and create rather pungent odors. Therefore, before washing in soapy water, arrest odors.

The following household supplies work exceptionally well:

  • Newspaper
  • Cedar chips
  • Kitty litter
  • Coffee grounds
  • Baking soda
  • Activated charcoal

Smaller items that cannot be sealed should be placed in a container with lid or a ziplock bag along with any one of the smell neutralizers for a day or if required a week. For larger things, use a box packed with your liked absorbent, put it in the interior of your ww2 item and attempt to close it, at the same time avoiding direct contact with your absorbent.

Eliminate odors

For items that can withstand water, use water and one of these supplies in a 3:1 ratio to wipe your items clean:

  • Vinegar
  • Dish soap
  • Vodka
  • Lemon juice
  • Listerine
