Maybe use one of those scented carpet powder products to mask the odor.

i bought a wertheim 4601 vacuum cleaner about 6 months ago and it still
has that warm plastic smell every time i use it.
this machine was a replacement for a similar machine(different brand),
that also had the smell.
ive pulled the thing apart, washed everything except the motor
and cord but it didn't help.
will the smell ever go away? what can i do to get rid of it?
