Voilà! Success. I'd just purchased a bottle of pure acetone at the drug store - labeled "professional maximum strength 100% acetone". Quite inexpensive. (Not the colored, scented fingernail polish remover.)
I took a look at the toy and honestly at first look I thought it wasn't silicone. My guess is this is a much lower grade silicone which is most likely why it holds odors. The only toys I've had hold odors were jelly, or low quality silicone. I would suggest investing in a higher quality silicone toy next time you're in the market, you almost certainly will not have this issue.
acetone i guess i would rar
If these toys are indeed silicone, you should never use acetone on them. Acetone will dissolve silicone rubber. It is a pretty powerful solvent for a fair number of materials. My guess as to why acetone is removing the smell is because it is eating away at the surface of the toys and taking any bits of trapped fecal material along with it.
Interesting - thank for the input. I see on the internet how acetone dissolves silicone sealant. I do find it hard to believe this toy maker (SquarePeg Toys) would recommend a solution to the odor problem that degrades his own toys.
Some stains may prove difficult to remove even with bleach and scrub brush. In that case, we recommend using a contractor-grade siding cleaner. There are many that are designed to take off stains from exterior surfaces and would be a great option if nothing else works.
If you are using acetone, turpentine, naphtha, or any other mineral spirit to remove an oil-based stain from your vinyl siding, make sure to rinse it off promptly. And once the stain has been removed, thoroughly clean the area with water. 2ff7e9595c
