How do I get the odor of perfume OUT of my phone handset?!
Someone borrowed my phone yesterday - someone who marinates in her perfume - and I can't get it out of my phone! I am fumigated everytime I use it! I've tried alcohol wipes and Clorox wipes and Lysol spray and it's still there!

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!

1. Spray it with a skunk?
Honestly, after washing it with soap and water I'd try Febreeze.

2. That would be preferable.
I think the scent is called "Beautiful." It's beautiful, probably, to some people, with a simple dab on the neck. NOT THIS. AAAAHHHHHHHHH

4. Try straight rubbing alcohol.
Not those pansy wipes.

My logic is that perfume is mostly alcohol, so you'd be using a similar substance to lift the offending compounds from the plastic of your phone.

If that doesn't work, try a solvent like Goof Off. (just stay away from your phone for a few minutes after cleaning it with that huffage)
