Try applying vinegar and letting it sit for a bit, rinse out vinegar and then wash in unscented? The vinegar is since you said it’s strongly scented. My MIL uses some sort of scented thing in her stuff so any kid clothes she gives me end up smelling like her house, a wash in my unscented detergent works just fine to get it out.

Depends on the fabric. If it’s an athletic material, you’re probably screwed. I can never get yoga pants from goodwill for that reason. But cotton, a combo of washing and sunshine/fresh air should help

Hey we have had good sunshine this year! Just not… you know… this week. Or possibly next. Or again until like late May.

No worries at all!
I’m pretty damn sensitive to fragrance and usually a couple wash cycles on warm or hot (even if unsafe for fabric) plus extra rinse if your washer has that eliminates it.
Failing that, line dry outdoors. Unless it’s so wet out that it will just stay sodden and grow mildew, fresh air drives out fragrance like nobody’s business even without sunshine.

A cup of ammonia in the wash will do it, but I’m the only person I know who keeps ammonia.

I keep ammonia but I use it for sanitizing rabbit cages because it’s a lot more effective than bleach for the parasites I’m controlling.

looks at the pouring rain outside
(Also I don’t have any outdoor space and our lease forbids hanging anything out the window).

I thought my living room windows looked filthy because I never wash them, but upon closer inspection the filth is between the window panes. It’s mainly water marks and drip marks. So apparently the seals on the double pane windows are broken.
Depending on what site I go to on the Internet they either say:
- Time for new windows, dude.
- Time to call a professional and they can MAYBE fix it
- Time to drill some holes in your windows (?!?!), pray you don’t shatter them, and pour some cleaner inside
Anyone have any personal experience they can share?

I’ve got vanilla that smells strongly of alcohol (like the alcohol smell is stronger than the vanilla smell). Will it make things taste weird if I use it in baking?

My parents had windows like this that progressively got worse my whole life until they replaced them a few summers ago. They were giant full wall picture windows though so maybe that makes a difference?
In the cupboard until liquid then throw out, is more our style.

If it didn’t have that serrated edge, I’d think it was some sort of spatula.

This was my first thought too.
Thing for cutting cake layers into more layers?

I know in my city there is a shop that specifically advertises the ability to repair and reseal double pane windows.
Probably not.
