Febreze has its own kind of unpleasant smell (I have six cats, I know). And dryer sheets leave fibers behind sometimes.

Wipe the guitar down with a DILUTED mixture of apple cider vinegar and water (use a damp, soft cloth to do this). Then, when dry, wipe with a soft cloth slightly dampened with plain water.

For the case: spritz with an atomizer (plastic plant mister is fine) using the same vinegar mixture. This will deodorize it. Then, when it is thoroughly dry, spritz with water containing a few drops of any deodorizing essential oil that has staying power and is pleasant (lavender, eucalyptus, and patchouli all work nicely and are very inexpensive for this purpose).

E.T.--I have not yet found anything that gets rid of the smell of mothballs. Whoever invented these confounded things deserves a special place in hell. To keep moths away from clothing, store muslin bags of lavender with them; or when washing, add a few drops of lavender essential oil to the final rinse water. Smells great and keeps the critters away. Also, moths go after dirty clothes; have them cleaned before storing and you won't have a problem.

p.s. that lobsters in the guitar case is a great story, Rick!!!
