I have used fabric sheets to get the smell out of everything that has a bad smell around the house. It works every time, even if someone gives me something with a smoky smell, and that's the worst! And the good news is that I use the used ones! Yes, I mean the ones that have been used for their original purpose a couple of times. They work just as well. I buy the sheets that have no perfumes because DH is allergic to the others. I keep the grandkids sneakers stuffed with them (I never throw one away after use in the dryer) and the odors are gone in a day or two. Even DH's nasty old running shoes. Try them!!
