Not sure this will work, but it would be cheap and easy to try. Remove 
the cabinet from the garage. Fill the cabinet drawers with dry, loosely 
crumpled clean newspaper. Give it some time, then replace the newspaper. 
If this brings little joy, build a plastic tent around the cabinet, and 
put saucers of baking soda in the drawers and under the cabinet. 
Maximize the surface area of the baking soda exposed to the air. Replace 
baking soda after a week or so. If that doesn't do it, try to get your 
hands on some activated carbon, and use it the same way as the baking soda.

IF that fails too, you might consider resorting to the expensive option
