Stinky Outside of Vinyl Fender Bass Case

Update:

I stopped by my mom's to use her natural enzyme cleaner for the dog's leftovers. I did one round of it so far, and the odor is seriously depleted. I left it in an open room so i can't say it's totally gone but it's curbed. I'll do another bath tomorrow.

Glad to hear that it's working! I reckon a few more blasts will do a lot of good.

The product i'm using is an all natural enzyme cleaner for safe use with pets. I'm gunna go to the store today and buy some 'not so safe for pets' stuff cause death to this stank! Will keep y'all posted.

So, everything everyone's said is probably a better idea (also, hooray! maybe problem solved already), but here's another brainstormy idea:

Have you read about this black ice cream thing?

and that mixing activated charcoal with food/drink is bad because it will soak up all yer medicines and birth control.

Annnnyway,
I wonder how well this stuff mixed in a paste (with water or something even faster drying) could absorb cigarette smell.

The easiest solution would be to turn the case inside-out. Then the outside will no longer be stinky.

Okay, y'all, as an update:

When i got this case i couldn't even breathe around it. If it was in the same room it would make the room smell like a chain smoker's in honestly 5 minutes. I have done three washings with this product:


And i can confirm that it has helped massively. I would have kept doing more but i had to fly home, so i did all i could. The case smells fine, unless you put your nose directly onto it for a good sniff; then it smells like ashy lavenders. On a hot and humid day, i occasionally get a whiff now and then of the ashy lavender but this is a vast improvement. I'd recommend giving this product a go. It's cheaper than a new case.
