rid odor

How do i get rid of odor on my fabric bracelets?
I just started working at a restaurant and i wear a lot of bracelets, the kinds that are made of string/fabric. For some reason, they picked up an odor from work that smells terrible and strong. i tried smoking it in soap water but that didnt work well. i dont want to throw them away. how can I get rid of the odor. putting it in the washing machine isnt an option.
i meant soaking it, not smoking it. sorry.
You can soak them in warm water with either baking soda or borax in them in a 4:1 or 3:1 ratio depending on how much they smell. Both remove odors, but make sure you dissolve either fully before submerging the bracelets.
