My Oust Fan is tainted

[Burning Man]

Last year I purchased two Oust fans so I would have a spare so when the time came to add a cooler I would be ready. Well thanks to the generosity of my buddy Going postal on my birthday I now have that new cooler. When I went to grab my spare fan I made a horrible discovery. Someone put the oust fragrance in it and has been using it for some time now.
I have tried putting it outdoors to air it out but the smell won't go away. Anyone have a tip they can give me to try and deodorize the fan or am I out of luck?

Thanks,
Cesar

Honestly I would just go buy a new one at this point. That stuff is potent. Sorry to hear it man.

Don't risk it. That stuff is eternal.

Damn. I was hoping there was some sort of remedy since they are great fans and also hard to come by. Has anyone seen some on the web lately?

I'm pretty sure that this is the correct one Cesar.....Just throw the scent stuff away.

I worked in a facility that filled and packaged perfume. The perfumes are ethyl alcohol based, so they flush the fillers and hoses with 200 proof ethyl alcohol to eliminate all scent of fragrance. Too bad that I don't think you could immerse an oust fan, and the 200 proof ethyl would cost more than a new fan on amazon. Get the new fan if you can.

I would rather my Oust be tainted than my taint be ousted.
