How do I get the plastic smell out of a new baby playard? ?
May 21st, 2010
I registered for the "Nature’s Purest-Hug Me" playard from Babies R Us because it was labelled as organic and healthier. Well okay, the fabrics are organic cotton but the playard mattress is still smelly vinyl plastic! I set it up last Friday and now, almost 4 days later, it still stinks. I’m trying to avoid baby products that outgas right down to the mattress and now we are left with this thing.
I dont know if I can afford to replace it now but if anyone knows of an organic playard mattress (cotton, wool, rubber, etc) that I can replace it with, it would be great. But for now, how do I clean it? Is there something I can put on it to remove the smell? No bleach or lysol or more chemicals please.

I agree with the vinegar and water; you also might put the mattress outside to let it really air out. Then cover the mattress with a mattress pad if this is possible and then the baby sheet or something that the baby won’t roll up in. lemon juice water might work too.
