I would be careful of chemicals, viegar works wounders and is natural, it will also clean stains in carpet that have been there for a long time in most cases. Also takes out cat urine.

Yuck! No never use that long arm quilter again.

My niece in law swears by Coke. I did try it once and it worked.

I agree with trying the ammonia. As stinky as it is, it does a really good job removing odors in the wash.

anyway, the quilts could probably use a good washing and that WILL take out the smell |

If I'm in her house for more than 5 minutes, I get a terrible headache. Hopefully one of the above ideas will work. I know Febreze advertises that they remove odors from fabric and Tide comes with a Febreze additive now I think.
