random cleaning type help

[amandasw]

I bought a little window seat type thing last year - it's a faux leather long seat that opens for storage. the problem is, it has a funny smell inside so I haven't wanted to store anything in it. how do I get rid of the smell? It's not like a mold smell or anything, just like, a factory/wood/fake leather smell. I tried spraying something like air freshener in it and leaving it open, but that's not working. I also thought about just putting some kind of sachet in there, is there something else you know would work?

I was thinking baking soda as well. You could get the box that you put in fridges.
