How to get rid of the smell of Febreeze?

DS was sick on the settee today. Have stripped it, taken to dry cleaners, and febreezed the cushions, as they stank.

Anyway, the living room now reeks of Febreeze and I wondered if anyone had any cunning tricks to mask / neutralise that smell, before I pick the cushion covers back up tomorrow.

Bit of a strange one, but it really smells bad. I think I preferred the stale stench of sick in hindsight
