What's a good way to remove the smell of home heating oil which has been 
absorbed into soft furniture, etc?  We have a unit which had a minor 
fuel spill last summer, which wasn't completely cleaned up.  The 
residual vapors have permeated everywhere they can.  I've tried 
localized spraying with Fabreeze, Lysol spray, etc.  Those sprays work 
locally but aren't suitable for nuking the whole house.

TIA
