Items with a smoke odor aren’t necessarily unsellable or worthless—especially electronics, which can often be restored with simple techniques.
One effective method is to place the item in a sealed plastic bag and remove as much air as possible (using a vacuum or by tightly compressing the bag). This creates a low-oxygen environment that helps neutralize odors.
For best results, leave the item sealed for 48–72 hours.
The reduced oxygen environment helps break down and eliminate smoke odors, particularly on materials like plastic and electronic surfaces.
