CW! como esta?
I have had pretty good success using Envirocorp SMOKE RELEIF AND ODOUR
CONTROL. I think I picked it up at CT or Rona or Home or some such place...?
It says it is safe for fabrics and sports equipment..... the funky dead fish
on the Pacific shoreline smell has almost been eradicated from the 700. The
fabric mat under the rubber mat seems to be the main source of the smell.
May the wind always be at your back!
