I've been slowly getting the smell out and I think this last round with dryer sheets is going to do the trick (for most - the fabric ones I'm still not sure about). The ones I could dunk in a water/alcohol soak cleaned up really fast, but the others (fabric, metal, unknown materials) that I didn't want to dunk are taking longer. I had no idea this site existed but I'm so happy to have found it - there are some that were labeled "military" and, judging from the makers, they are, but I'm having trouble figuring the age of some of them.
