I have been told that making a gooey sticky solution of baking soda and dish detergent, so that you actually paint it on the inside of the cabinet and it adheres to all surfaces, works to draw the odor out of that plastic liner.

The other option is to try a packet of stuff (I paid $1.99 at ACE Hardware per packet, but can't remember the name of the stuff) they sell in Florida that off-gasses and prevents the formation of mildew in closed up spaces. I believe it is heavily formeldahyde based as the instructions require you to use one packet for every 400cubic feet and to air the place out completely before inhabiting it again. I hung them from the ceiling fans and skedaddled out of there, don't see why they wouldn't work for your problem.

Good luck Dave.
