How do you remove smoke smell from jewelry?
How do you remove cigarette smoke from jewelry? Does anyone know how to without making the jewelry smell like the cleaner? The jewelry is costume jewelry made from pot metal and alloys not gold or silver so the metal is more porous and delicate.
I don't smoke. I bought it this way and am trying to avoid returning it.
If you know a successful way please let me know.
I don't smoke. I bought it from a smoker and need to get it clean.
I bought baking soda, lets see how it goes.
Although vinegar is a grease cutter it can also corode metal so I can't use it.

throw it into a bag of baking soda for a night. in the morning, take it out and either shake it off (if it doesn't have a bunch of detail and no baking soda is stuck in any holes or anything), rinse it off (if you can get it wet, i'm no tsure about pot metal), use a dry paintbrush to get the rest of the baking soda off, or use a can of compressed air. The baking soda *should* deodorize it and make the smell go away.

A soak in rubbing alcohol will dissolve the smoke tars.
A rinse in clean water will remove any lingering alcohol scent.

Probably any soap and water. It is really the tar that is leaving a film & smell. I had to use ammonia cleaner to get the heavy film/smell off furniture etc.
