Killing the odour of creosote
Got creosote on some corduroy trousers while painting a fence. Swmbo says she washed them in her precious Miele, but on the past she has refused to use it for clothes that were too dirty, they still pong a bit. Personally i don't mind the smell of creosote, goes well with a dash of Jeyes fluid, but she witters on about it.

Just hang it out on a washing line for a day or two. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Nick Febreze swamps everything, but personally I would prefer the smell of creosote to Febreze. Milk spilt under the fridge or a kitchen unit becomes pretty over-powering after a while. |

Not sure about creosote tho. Id rub in a mixture of paraffin and washing up liquid. Or swarfega. Then wash again -- The lifetime of any political organisation is about three years before its been subverted by the people it tried to warn you about. Anon. |

Killing the odour of creosote
It is quite a sticky substance, I'd have though some form of so called dry
cleaning might fix it. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please Note this Signature is meaningless.!
