How to get rid of moth ball smell?

Question

i bought a wardrobe last year, the previous owner filled it with mothballs and now whenever i put clothes in the drawers they stink and i have to wash them again before wearing them.

any ideas on how to get rid of the smell please!!

Answer 1

They make odor absorbing air fresheners that come in cans (can find them at drug stores, home depots etc.) and smell like anything from flowers to fruit. Also-get some cedar blocks and/or balls-that will work over a long term period and keep out any bugs. I have them in my closet & they smell good three years later. It keeps everything fresh also.

Answer 2

Keep a window and  the door of the wardrobe open to let fresh air in, and get some lavender sachet to put in the wardrobe for the future.rt

Answer 3

Get a box of Arm and Hammer baking soda and open it a bit and put it in there until the odor is absorbed, kinda like the fridge.

Answer 4

There are some white pellets or balls that you buy and put in wardrobes. They emit a fragrance over a long period of time.

You can probably find them in your local supermarket.
