I was going to say the same thing. Dial deodorant soap works too. It has to be a deodorant soap though.
I bought two bolts of a fusible at an auction that smelled really bad. I sealed them up in a big plastic bag with a couple of bars of Safeguard and in a couple of weeks the smell was gone.
This works really good for stuff you can't wash like magazines and books.
