I finally picked up a couple oust fans for my coolidor.   Is there a relatively easy way to get the scent off of the fan itself?   I could only find ones that were packaged with a scent.   Even though the scent is unopened I can easily smell it on the fan.  

Needless to say, I can't use them in their current condition.  I am worried that I won't be able to use them because the smell is stronger than I thought it would be.

Baking soda.....pour some in a bag and set the fan on top.
I let mine sit (only one needed it of the four...the bottle must have leaked) a week and then into the cooler.

Ok, I will try that.  I got two of them.  One is an outdoor scent and the other is a citrus.   The citrus isn't nearly as bad, but I can still smell it.  The outdoor scent is pretty bad.  

I just set up a little container with some baking soda.. Hopefully, that will do the trick.

Thanks.

Looks like you are already on your way, but another odor absorber is just plain old news paper.

I took 90% alcohol to mine. Then a baking soda dawn paste. Let them sit until dry then a hose down. I did take them apart.
