I have used opened Irish Spring Soap bars for odors before. It was to get rid of odors of freezer food that had ruined. Nothing else would work; i.e., not the charcoal, baking soda, etc. Not any of the normal solutions. Some country cousins told us of the soap and we tried it and it was wonderfully successful. They had had problems with freezers of food going out in cold weather.

I have used coffee grounds (new or used) tied into an old sock or cloth to absorb odors. I don't know if that would help but it is worth a try, I guess.

A very long time ago I had a problem with smoke damage to a car. I was told to get sasafrass oil and put it on a cloth or cotton ball. It sort of worked but I got tired of the smell of the sasafrass oil.
Putting the van in a garage with the windows open could help. Or outside depending on the weather, and the safety of your parking spot.
1-2 years later you couldn't tell there was a problem.

There is a product called Fresh-Wave that takes odors out or rooms. It can be found at many ACE stores. Check out their web site for a satore near you.

place about 1/2- 1 cup vinegar in it with windows closed overnight then remove. the vinegar smell will disapate and leave the van smelling better. also you can place fabric softener sheets in it changing them every couple days. this is what car dealers do.
