I needed to deodorize something many years ago and found a cleaner based on "oil of oranges" -- something like that. It worked incredibly well, but I can't remember the name for the life of me. Maybe you can do a quick check in the cleaning section of a large department store, if you have one nearby?

I think it needs something a little stronger than Febreeze. I did a google search for "oil of oranges" and found Citra Solv which is all natural and cruelty-free. However, a product review warns "never use on any kind of plastic or plexiglass. It will discolor it, or even begin to melt it, depending on how strong your mixture is." I'm thinking if I dilute it as much as possible, it might not discolor or melt the outer shell?

Maybe putting your nook in a container that can be sealed with a small dish of vinegar overnight might help. Another trick that works (for odors from garbage cans) is to soak a piece of bread in vinegar and put it in the bottom of the can before putting a new bag in. It breaks up any bad odor that the can may have picked up over time.

That's a good idea, Crich. I think I'll try that after using the rubbing alcohol a few more days. I'm sure we have some vinegar somewhere... *searching* I'm sure it's hidden behind containers and stuff in a kitchen cabinet.

That's a good idea too. 'Have to buy a box of fabric softener--something citrusy.
The rubbing alcohol seems to be working little by little, more and more each day. That's something? *nods*
