How to remove a smell of food?

I've had a food container in my rucksack and unfortunately it has been opened. And all my rucksack stinks now. How can I remove a smell of food from my rucksack?

Bicarbonate of soda

Sprinkle in your bag and leave over night. Then vacuum it out or tip it out the next day (repeat if it is really whiffy)

This is how you remove this kind of odor from your rucksack the best trick I’ve learned for getting smells out of those fibers works just as well on other fibers and fabrics. Just mix water and vodka in a 1:1 ratio and spritz it right on. Works as well as commercial products like Febreeze. It evaporates quickly, leaving no alcohol-scent behind.
or make this formula this works great and is inexpensive, The Fake Febreeze Recipe

2 C. Fabric Softener

2 C. Baking Soda

4 C. warm water

Mix and place in a spritzing bottle. Use just like you would the expensive Febreeze from the store. If you want, you can use the unscented fabric softener and then add a few drops of essential oil to make it a scent that you prefer. Good Luck !.

If your rucksack can go in the washing machine, wash it with liquid detergent, and half a cup of white vinegar. The vinegar can neutralize a lot of odours, including pet urine, so food should be easy.
