Location: Up North | The coffee grounds absorb the smell, not just replace it with the smell of the coffee. It's a trick an antique store owner told me about. He used it to get rid of all kinds of funky odors from cigarettes to moth balls. |

Location: big island | hey grif,
i was bein' a bit facetious.
i was in the food brokerage business for several years. when the plan-o-grams were drawn up for the store layout we used to be very careful what items were stocked near the coffee, rice, flour and candy sections cuz all these items would end up tasting like whatever they were placed near for any length of time. improved packaging has helped that situation out.
i have used cedar balls to remove odors and moisture here in hawaii with great results. they can be purchased at just about any wallymart or hardware store. |

Location: Up North | No problem Lanaki, it's interesting about store layout, confirms that coffee is a smell sponge.
the smell of cedar can't be beat. |

Location: SF Bay area | I was recently at a guitar store and was asking about a new case. When I told the manager that my case reeked, (bought it used), he went in his backroom and came out with a red can of spray on carpet cleaner. Told me to spray it on, let it dry and vacumn. Worked pretty good, I tried baking soda and even threw it all over the case in the furry lining. It didn't help at all. It works in my fridge though! |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Yeah Slot-Head Fred... I said that yesterday, and I still think it is a good idea. Along with Oust, Febreeze, and carpet fresh.
Second option... Live with it, and visualize smoky folk-poet-bluesy-jazz bars. |
