[quote=thequiltmama]Does anyone know how? I just had a friend of mine ask me for someone else. He had a house fire and the quilts are unfinished so he doesn't want to wash them. I don't know for sure of anything he could do, does anyone here know??[/q
I would go buy some of the very large ziplock bags (2gal.) or bigger even,like ones you use your vacuum. Buy lots of borax (in the laundry aisle) put quilt in and 2-4cups dry 'Borax' shake and let sit for week or so, shake around every day. If after this still has odors try again with Baking Soda the same way. Also tell him when it comes time to wash the quilt wash them with Borax because it removes odors in the wash. Borax & Baking Soda are Cheap so can't hurt to try :!: 8-)
