Hi Stenograsaurus,

Have you tried the new odor removers like Febreze? You can get it at any supermarket, or Wal-Mart and it's relatively cheap and works like crazy. It takes the odor of anything out of anything. Several other companies like the Clorox people have their own version and theirs works just as well.

Spray the blankets, sheets, etc. and launder as usual or just pour about 1/4 cup into the washer with them and it will get it all out. However, You will need to re-launder them with detergent and fabric softener to get that nice just-washed smell back.

Spray the mattress and let it dry naturally.

Good luck.
