Air it out outside if you can, it will take a long time. Fabrics absorb. I had a friend that kept painting and painting the walls in her house, they white kept yellowing. Someone told her it was Nicotene on the walls. Take it to get it drycleaned if you can.

There is a great product called Nok-Out. I believe the company has changed it's name but you can google Nok-Out and read a lot about it and order it from Amazon. A great article is from everydaycheapskate.com

they told me to put newpaper in my tupperware to get rid of the smell .....maybe put it in a tote with some newpaper ...i would put outside in the sun to warm it some.......it worked when a friend brought a pig home in the front of his truck--we put lots of crumpled paper in the truck /rolled the windows up and set in the sun for a long afternoon really made a difference

I used newspaper and charcoal in an old sewing machine case that had that very strong old oil smell and it worked. Maybe could can put your item in a plastic bag with the paper and charcoal. Other than that you might try Fabreeze spray. They do have an unscented one, if that bothers you. Fresh air and sunshine may work, too. Please let us know how it works.
