Try white vinegar in the water. It will help get rid of any odor. I have used it on my BF's polypropylene running tops, which he wears a few times until they get pretty ripe- ewww. I also put a dish of vinegar in the kitcen and let it sit overnight after I have cooked something pungent, like onions. It will help absorb any leftover smells.
And what a lousy thing to say about you.![]()
