OT: My old canvas board bag stinks. Help please?

I can’t let it go.  But it really smells bad and stinks up my storage room and everything in it.

It is an old 8-6 double Tracktop.  Canvas with some foam padding.  About 15 years old.  The zippers still work well. Unlike my much newer Kommunity and ProLite.  

I have traveled all over with that thing.   Slept in it on Baja beaches, slept on it at East Cape.  Stuffed 4 shorties in it for a trip to Cane Garden Bay.  Took it to Ecuador last Feb.

“I just caint quit ya, bro.”

So, I took a pump up sprayer with a strong chlorine solution and drenched it.  No luck.  Soaked in soapy water and let it dry for days.  No luck.  It is probably worth about $20 if I could find someone who really needed it and it was a windy day.

What do I do?  And idea how to salvage?

Fabreeze ??

3

Gallons of H2O2, good ol' fashioned Hydrogen Peroxide.      Destroys the offending organic molecules.     Then Fabreeze, as suggested.

4

What about lysol?  That kills most of the mycrobial stuff…

 

If that doesn’t work, try ISO Alcohol or DNA in a spray bottle…   Just don’t smoke / use flame in the area while it is drying…

5

Boil it…

6

dry cleaners

duh!

Like you do with smelly sneakers, throw it in a freezer overnight, kills all the bugs.
