I have had people swear that you can use full-strength
vanilla to remove odors.
I would wash them first, light bleach or lysol in water,
dry them (outdoors in the sun if possible) and then
if you can do it put full strength vanilla on
paper towels and seal the bowls and vanilla towels
into big rubbermaid containers. Check them after 48
hours and see if the odor remains. If they seem to be
improving, reseal and leave them for a week. You can repeat if
necessary. (Someone I know said this is what she did
to a refrigerator that got unplugged with food left
in it. This vanilla idea took away the spoiled food odor.)
