dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 7:04 pm OMG! We use a bit of orange/lemon oil mixed with water or Poo-Pourri for all sorts of smells. I know that Poo-Pourri sounds funny but, it works for all kinds of "other" things. I would remove and replace the carpet, thoroughly clean everything, spray with one of the above and leave the door open to air out for a bit. Ugh! You could use one of our precious masks (hmmm) for a while until everything clears up! Since you removed the offending critter, the smell should disappear rather rapidly. There's nothing worse than rigor mortis! Poor little guy! Bury him in your yard. He deserves a decent burial for his efforts! Edited by dsking 05/03/2023 7:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 7:50 pm I just realized I can use this to my advantage. The Redfield hoard is known for fruit preserve stains on the silver dollars. Perhaps my hoard can be known for its unique fragrance. Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7944 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 5:57 pm First ... It's great to see the sense of humor here!! Next ... "Dead rodent smell" brings back some interesting memories for me. My first real-significant-money-job (we're talking $1.65/hr!) when I was something like 15 or 16 was in a place that raised rodents (white rats, mice, gerbils) to sell to pharmaceutical labs for their product testing. On the morning feeding rounds you could always tell when an animal had croaked overnight. Yep, I can still remember that smell. Finally ... Getting rid of that smell could be tough. I would toss anything soft: the carpeting, and also all the vinyl. Those materials have probably adsorbed the stench molecules, and it might take a very long airing out time to make them anywhere close to acceptable. Good luck.

TinyRetreat Valued Member United States 345 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 02:18 am What a story ... Yikes ! I'm not sure I would want my safe smelling like vinegar for 6 years either ... a carpet cleaner attachment may just do the trick. Make sure you keep us posted ;) Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/12/2023 08:29 am Every cloud has a silver lining. With a residual rigor mortis sort of smell, you should have no problem with proving provenance of your coins. They should have acquired an olfactory sort of patina. Report this Post to the Staff
