Baking soda absorbs smells. Actually paint stores have this product where you pop the lid and it absorbs the smells. I think its made by Back to Nature.

Also leave the windows open to ventilate it if at all possible.

Thats all i can come up with.
I'll try those suggestions. Is there a way to determine what would neutralize particular odors? like the way certain bases neutralize acids, etc?
