If you're really sensitive to say the cords or other plastics that are
out gassing, I"ve been told alcohol is a good way to get the
smell out. You can use rubbing alcohol or ideally 99% isopropyl alcohol.
I suppose strong rum or vodka should work too. Ideally soak
the problem parts in the alcohol. Do not breath the fumes (do it outside).
