    Question PS1 Game Manual Smells like Smoke!

    Is there a method for getting rid of the smokey smell in my Guilty Gear manual?
    It's not damaged or anything, it just smells bad.
    Oddly, the stench has not left even though I have had the game in my smoke-free home since January.

    Any help I could have is greatly appreciated!
    In Heaven, everything is fine.

    Have you tried putting it in front of a fan? I would say putting it in front of a fan for a while should, at least, help reduce the smell.

    Had this problem with an old Genesis game/box/manual, left them in a small box with one of those Arm and Hammer baking soda boxes and the smell subsided quite a bit.

    I had the same problem one time. I placed the item into a plastic box with a cup of baking soda for a week. Then I took the baking soda out and placed a "Renuzit" air freshner in with it for another week. I used the scent that was suppoed to smell like air dried laundry. This took all of the smell out.

    I'll give that a try this week.

    That's sounds like it will really help!

    I will try this great idea as well.
