I will try to find the answer. Just can't remember where I stored the info on getting the smell out. Sitting it in the sunlight helps, sprinkling with baking soda also does. But, I have heard of a few more remedies. :D
Oh, I think I have also heard of stuffing it with newspapers and changing it often.
