How do I remove the cigarette smell from my hat?

Question

I went to a friends house today and his mom smokes, but only in one room and for some reason when I came home everything smelled like cigarettes, including my hat. Sure, I can take a shower. I can wash my clothes. But what do I do about my hat? I just bought it a couple of days ago and now it reeks. Can it be washed?

45% Cotton 55% Linen

here's a link to a similar looking hat.

Answer 1

try frabreeze that gets out anything

Answer 2

wash it

Answer 3

Put it in a bag with newspaper it will absorb the smell

Answer 4

If your hat is cotton and linen, washing it by hand in cold water would be the only way, then pack a small hand towel inside for it to keep its shape.

However,  if you spray the hat with a little lemon juice and water and put it outside in the sun to dry( if you can) then that should keep it smelling fresh without washing it.

Hope this works for you.

Answer 5

Just spray it with febreeze

Answer 6

It probably can be washed, fill the sink with cold water and a capful of woolite., and a bit of white vinegar

Let the hat soak for 15 minutes or so.  Swish around and roll hat between two towels to remove excess water

Reshape had and let dry on dry towel.

Answer 7

febreze - spray it from a distance of about 12 inches.

Answer 8

Use febreze, any wal-mart or local store will carry it.

Answer 9

put the hat in the dryer on medium with 2 dryer sheets....that will do the trick.

Answer 10

Put it in the dryer without washing it. Use high heat, no it wont shrink and the heat will get the smell out. You can use dryer softener sheets if you want to.  

Answer 11

you can set it in the sun for a few hours, the smell will go away, febreeze will help but i think setting in the sun does the best for smoke. i bought a sofa from a person that smoked and it reeked like smoke, i stuck it outside for a few weeks because i didnt think it would ever be ok but i noticed that after all that time out there is smelled fine. your hat was only in there for a little while so a few hours should be fine.

i would leave my hat in my car next time i went over to smoky mic smokersons house again or dont wear it at all.

smoking is gross, i know because i did it for 14 years , now i cant stand the smell.

Answer 12

You Have To Give It Another Smell Like.....Rub It in Hot Dogs And Dirt Or Something Then Wash It With Washing Powder & Towel Softener And Then Leave It In The Sun To Dry Then Spray It With Deodorant You May Need To Repeat This Twice But Without The Hot Dogs And Dirt Because Thats A One Time Thing To Mask The Smell

Answer 13

i would hand wash it just in case or u can steam it

and u should let air it out for a couple days or something

or u can always spray febreeze on it  

Answer 14

Yeah you can wash it. Try and let it air out for a few days first.
