Bad Smell on New Faux Fur Rub

I have just bought a faux fur throw rug. It has an odour - it is a dreadful synthetic smell - almost like oil or petrol. I have tried putting the rug through the washing machine but it still smells. Any advice anyone please? I have thought of baking soda but the pile of the rug is very deep - about 1 inch and I am worried I would not be able to get all of the powder out again.
