I do not believe you can get rid of the smell and I believe it is the glue rotting.

I had a sticker a while back that smelt like an open wound or something...literally it made me gag and I had to throw it away  :X

I would try to putting it in a paper bag with an open box of Baking soda for a few days to a week or so to see if that helps get rid of the smell.

I agree that sometimes it is not possible to shift it - I have had them smell like vinegar in the past - ewwwwwwww :/

However, it is worth trying the baking soda or kitty litter trick to see if its something "on" the stickers rather than a part of the sticker itself which is causing the issue.

Good luck!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
