If it's your case that's causing the odor, try a spray of Febreze - it comes in nice "fresh" scents that won't overpower anything, and it also removes unpleasant odors. If it is your instrument, I found that switching to organic almond oil, instead of petroleum-based bore oil, really improved my own clarinet. Use sparingly and cover those pads when you use it. The Doctor's mouthpiece sterilizing wash is also a mainstay of my maintenance kit, and I use a silk swab for everyday cleaning after practice. Old reeds don't really seem to make much of a difference - but I don't have too many old reeds in the first place! :-)
