if you can't wash right now hang it on the line and spray it with fabreeze really good and let air dry a couple of days or so. of course hang wrong side of material up so it won't get sun on the good side. my sister and son were both smokers and never opened the house so when i went there i had her sons room and had to spray the pillow and bedding everythinggg and opened the windows day and night a couple of days and that worked. it was so strong i thought i would have to sleep outside in the cold or the car and that was after my other sisters and husbands washed the walls and all before i got there. good luck on your quest.
