How do you get a bad smell out of pine furniture?

Asked by filmfann (52218points) June 7th, 2013

The details are details. You don’t need this information to answer the question.
My son recently bought a town house, and the previous owner left a beautiful china cabinet behind, saying it was too big for his new place.
When we looked at the town house, we could immediately smell sewer gas coming from the bathroom. Once my son took possession, we reset the toilet, which was very loose, and was the source of the smell.
Yesterday, we moved the china cabinet from the town house, to my home. We will eventually move it up North.
This morning, while walking past the cabinet, I smelled the same swamp gas odor from the cabinet. Apparently, the wood absorbed the odor.
I want to clean this before moving into my other place. I certainly don’t want to make the new house smell bad.
Any ideas?
