Finally we bought a damp rid, berry scented, jar and placed it in the general area... it lasted for a month, but the smell left. I'm not sure why it worked or if it was just a fluke, but the smell is gone. You can get Damp rid from any store, but we bought it from Home depot and it was the "air freshener" one, not the regular (though both might work??)

Good luck!!!
Interesting! We use the normal Damp Rid on the boat in the cabin...Works great in collecting the humidity. Never really thought of it absorbing smells too. Will have to give it a try! Thanks for the tip.

Great ideas everyone. I'll try them all until I find one that helps. I noticed the smell is a lot worse when it's humid so maybe that damp rid would do the trick.
