I bought a second hand ball pit off Facebook and didn’t think to check whether it came from a smoke free house. I’ve brought it home only to notice that it stinks of smoke. I’ve removed the covers and washed them but how do I remove the smell from the foam inside and also the balls? Any help appreciated! Thanks

Balls you can stick them in the bath with hot soapy water & some dettol if you have any then rinse & let them air dry. No idea about the foam though sorry x
Thanks !

I don't think there's any way of getting the smell of smoke out of things fully unfortunately! If you've got outside space you could try covering it with water and liquid detergent scrubbing it in and then rinsing again and leaving somewhere to dry out, foam shouldn't take too long. Each to their own but I can't help but feel sorry for the baby that was playing in there before!

Can you try to return?

Do you have a vax?
No vax and can’t return - I sent a message to the seller and he just blocked me! The worst thing is that he said it was like new!

Oh, some ppl... Maybe dry cleaning the foam insert?
