    My beloved T series just came back from much needed repair from my local shop. It's working now, which is fantastic, but it reeks of cologne. I am chemically sensitive, so it is really, really effecting me. (not joking) Please, anyone have suggestions for removing the odor? I have wiped it with a clorox wipe and I actually lightly sprayed it with a product - meant as air freshener - called Zero Odor I bought from Bed Bath Beyond that I had around. Then I blew the liquid off the keyboard with canned air. it still reeks. Please help.

    The only chemicals I can think of to eliminate odor are too harsh to use on the laptop. How long has the scent lingered? It may need time to dissipate.

    Would this not be the shop's problem? Take it to them and ask them to clean it up.

    Unless it's a Lenovo Authorised Repairer or something, I'd doubt Lenovo would care.
