Maybe that spray product that removes the foul odor when pets soil the carpet? Just a thought.

How remove odor from interconnect?
I recently purchased a used pair of Cardas interconnects that have a strong aromatic odor. I suspect that the previous owner might have put something on the cables to cover a smell or possibly used one of those plug-in oil diffusers near the cables. I was refunded the purchase price and told to just keep the cables as he didn’t want them back. Anyway, I’ve tried washing them with isopropyl alcohol, soaking them in Dawn detergent overnight (twice), burying them in baking soda for a week, and tried to bake the smell out in a toaster oven at 180 degrees for several hours. I’m ready to just throw them out unless anyone here might have a suggestion.
I'm giving @viridian 's vinegar suggestion a go. I remember years ago when I had rental properties that a previous tenant's hallway had a strong urine odor. I read that treating the area with a solution of baking soda and then later treating the same area with a solution of vinegar neutralized the smell, and it worked. I also appreciate @mitch2 's same experience, maybe we purchased from the same seller. If vinegar doesn't fix it, I'll just hang them outside or in the garage and check on them occasionally. Thanks for everyone's comments! |
