Boori Furniture Smell

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.

My DS has a boori cot, but didn't sleep in it until he was over a year old, as I ended up having him in our room with us (first in a bassinet, then in a portacot). By the time he made it into his cot, any smell it had was long gone!

I guess if you still aren't happy with the smell by the time your bring your baby home... perhaps you could use a bassinet in a different room for a week or so??
