Wash with water soap and baking soda, then use febreeze. I would also use antbacterial stuff on it.

A couple of washes with a good bilogical powder should do it, and give it a good airing outside if possible. If the oil stains are stubborn try a pre wash soak that is made to deal with stains.
I wouldn't use any sprays on it (such as Febreze) coz there is no proof they they are safe when used on something like a crib which the baby will be in very close contact with over an extended period of time. Better to be safe than have a poorly baby.

Bleach it. dilute to 1 tsp per 2 cups of water. Then after that, take vinegar and water diluted to half and half. Wipe all over and rinse with water. Then leave it to air out. I wouldn't use air fresheners or anything like that. If you want a pretty smell take a little lavendar ( you can get it at most health food stores and some grocers). Put it on a cloth and wipe when it has dried after cleaning. It will have a lovely scent that is calming and safe for babies.

If it's the mattress that has an odor, the easiest thing might be to re-cover it with something that will 'seal in" the odor, like vinyl or thin plastic. Many crib mattresses are made with laminated fabric, or people put a waterproof fitted sheet on them, so it's a normal surface for a baby to sleep on. You might want to use a mattress pad under the crib sheet to make it more comfy.

Be carefull here!
Use an Amway product called L.O.C.
or any other Organic cleanser only.

first I would make a bucket of hot soapy bleach water and wash every surface and then put it in the sun and let the fresh air do its own magic.
