I got an awesome new pair of scissors, yesterday (razor sharp, really comfy spring loaded handles, and normally cost $30, but I had a 50% off coupon! =D), but for some mysterious reason the handles smell sort of mildewy and the smell comes off on my hands. How can I get rid of the smell? Would washing the scissors work? I just don't want to damage them, or anything. =/
