How do I get rid of the latex odor from masks?

I use masks for drama and find the smell overbearing when people try to wear themHow do I get rid of the latex odor from masks?
You really can't. Your nose is so close to the material that you will always have that smell.


Keeping it in the open air and letting it ';AIR OUT'; will help some after awhile. But it will still be there.


If the smell really bothers you, try putting a smell that is stronger than the latex that you like under your nose. Perfume perhaps? Or maybe scrape an fresh orange and rub some of the orange oils under (not in) your nose.


My husband (he's a dentist) does this when a patient is wearing too much perfume or has bad breath so bad he can't stand it. He puts a really strong orange smelling lubricant on one of those cotton face masks to deal with the bad smells.





Hope this helps! ~TMHow do I get rid of the latex odor from masks?
TRY RUBBIG THEM WITH AN ANTIBACTERIAL HAND CLEANER LIKE THE WET WIPES SOME OF THEM HAVE LIKE A POWDER SMELL OR RUB A LIGHT COAT OF BABY POWDER ON THEM
