OdoBan. You can get it at Home Depot and sometimes at Lowe's. I think at Sam's also. It is for the sick room, pet odors, almost anything. I have used it for those and it works really well. If you are concerned about colors fading I would be hesitant to finish it and get it quilted and find it faded/bled. It is bad enough to have that happen when you had no idea that would happen.
