Heating Oil Smell on Luggage

Hello, I had a similar situation this past summer (though not exactly) ... but hopefully my solution to my problem will help with yours. I purcahsed a large set of luggage for an unbelievable price from a large chain store and when bringing it home it had that "direct from factory/ sitting in a warehouse" scent. Instead of washing it I opened up each and every piece and half-filled it with kitty littler and then sealed it back up. After two to three days of being closed I put in a fresh layer of kitty litter (which may or may not be necessary) and flipped the bag over so that the top was now the bottom. I put dryer sheets in all the pockets and nooks and crannies and for the outside I febrezed the heck out of it every chance I got!! The whole time I had the bags on a screened in porch hoping the cool nights would assist ... but definitely make sure its away from cats-they might think its their new commode!HAHA. Best of luck and let me know if you have success --- MATT
