How to clean/deodorize filthy ashtrays? |

I don't smoke, but my Dad does. He also doesn't clean the ashtrays out too often, and when he does, just dumping the butts is good enough...
I now have several ash trays that are coal black and smell ferocious. (He smokes out side, so that's a plus.) Does anybody have a cleaning product in mind that I can use that will actually destroy the odor when I finally clean them out after all these years? Preferably something that will keep my sink and fingers from stinking as well. Thanks, Bill | ||

To keep your hands from stinking wear rubber gloves. Use an old sponge with a green scotch brite pad on it, soak the ashtrays in hot water and detergent and then scour with the scotch brite and either some Barkeepers Friend or baking soda. Save the sponge for just cleaning the ashtrays.
After you get them clean, if your Dad would wash them at least on a weekly basis they shouldn’t be such a problem in the future. I used to smoke, quit in 1981. But I used to wash my ashtrays every couple of days with the dishes and they were never a big deal to keep clean. If your Dad smokes outside, why not just put some sand in and old coffee can and have him use that and just periodically dump out the sand and butts and add fresh sand, problem solved. Eddie | ||
