[LM_NET] Hit: cigarette odor

[sandra carswell <sandracarswell@HOTMAIL.COM>]

My original post was asking for advice on removing cigarette odor from books 
donated for hurricane relief.
I want to thank everyone who gave me tips and tricks for removing odors from 
books.
The most recommended procedures were:
let them air out in the sun
stand the book on end with the pages fanned out and place a fan on it
put them in a plastic bag with baking soda, charcoal, kitty litter, or 
fabric softener sheets, remove and replace every couple of days or use 
Fabreze

Most of these procedures would probably be good if I only had a few books to 
handle. Since there is a box full, I've decided to discard the books.

Thank you for your input. I know I will use these procedures in the future.

P.S. Scholastic allowed us to use our One for Books dollars to purchase 
books for hurricane relief at the teacher discount of Buy 3 Get One Free.
