I make a ball of coffee (yes, coffee) soap and keep one in the
kitchen and one in the bathroom. It works on lots of 'bad' smells -
onion, garlic, gasoline, pesticides.
Take a handsized bar of Ivory soap, not the larger bath size, grate
it on the large holes on a cheese grater. Put the grated soap into a
large microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for a minute (or so,
depends on your microwave) until it all melts. It will grow, get fluffy,
as it melts. Take it out of the microwave and add/stir in a TBSP of
ground coffee using a wooden spoon. (I'm not a coffee drinker, so I buy
the single pot gourmet pkgs at the grocery store. One pkg of coffee will
make 6 balls of soap.) As soon as you can handle it, shape the
soap/coffee mixture into a ball; set aside and let it cool.
