Wooden Puzzles

Hi. This is my first time posting on this board. I had a burning question that I'd like help with.

First, a little about me. I have a 15 month old, born 5-26-13. He is full of energy and loves novel toys and foods. He's my only right now but we're trying for another.

My question is, I recently purchased a few wooden puzzles from an online garage sale site. They looked to be in good condition and were a steal compared to what you would pay for new. I had not considered the fact that they could have come from a home where people smoked. Ugh. Does anyone know how I would 1. disinfect the puzzle pieces 2. get the smoke smell out?

I know you are not supposed to submerge them. I was wondering about Lysol spray and wipe down followed by Febreeze but is that safe for my little man given that he still sticks things in his mouth. Thanks!

I'd try to return them to the seller who failed to disclose the smoking. Third degree cigarette smoke can be just as harmful as second degree.

I would wipe with damp cloth or lysol sheets, then put out in the sun for a couple of hours. UV light disinfects everything and putting it outside can help air out any smell.
