Boori Furniture Smell

[ACJ]

I use to work in a baby store and we use to assembly the furniture in the warehouse out the back then bring it out in the show room a week later for that reason!! It will go but keep all windows and doors open and if possible a fan on in the room so the air is being circulated out of the room!!

Hi - thanks for your replies.

I have had the windows and fan going for about a month and the smell is still as strong. i might try airing it out on a our verandah tomorrow. fingers crossed this will help...

Try washing it down too.

Warm water as hot as you can put your hand into without getting burnt.

If you have any drawers pull them out and wipe them out as well and leave them out of the furniture - often the smell is from the drawers where there is more raw wood.

oh cool thanks for that!

was so anxious about putting a new baby in that room so hopefully it will help...

Try putting Bi-carb soda near the cot/in the drawers (in a tub) too, it can help absorb odours.

our cot has been up for 3.5 yrs and still smells like it.
i especially noticed it when we moved..

I had this problem with Boori furniture too. The cot was fine, but the change table had a really strong smell for a very long time. I think it was the chipboard that the shelves were made of. I left the window open in the nursery and eventually it went away. If you've got somewhere safe to put it outside, I think that will really help.
