    Clean your bag with Tide or another strong smelling detergent. If that doesn't work, try using baking soda on the affected area -- rub it in, then toss the bag in the washing machine with some detergent.

    To remove the strong onion odor from work clothes, you should pre-treat them by rinsing in cold water immediately (daily) to remove batter/grease. Then, soak for 1–2 hours in warm water with either 1 cup white vinegar or ½ cup baking soda (not both) to neutralize the odor. Use a heavy-duty liquid detergent plus ½ cup baking soda during the wash cycle. Wash on a hot setting if the fabric allows, and repeat if necessary. Always try to dry outdoors if possible; otherwise, use a machine dryer on high to help dissipate the smell.
