I just cook things like cork logs before giving to a new hamster, it won't get rid of the scent though. I have used many of my items with lots of different hamsters over the years and the scent never seems to stress them out. I'm not sure how long a scent stays around but I think it might be a while as I am sure my hamsters often sniff certain spots on an item that was used a long time ago with another hamster. They may just scent mark it themselves.
