This smell is contagious!?

Question

i have a chest drawer set made of wood and INSIDEthe drawers smell awful like wood and some other gross smell . I can't even put my clothes in them bcuz they end up absorbing the woody smell and it smells nasty. What can i do to get rid of that annoying smell from inside the new set of drawer chest???.....do moth balls work???

Dryer sheets don't work or air frwshner sticks,neither parfume or room sprays.

Answer 1

I would def try the moth balls. It may take a bit, but it does work. Afterwards  I would try painting the inside with a clear seal. They should keep it fresh.

Answer 2

try bleach!

Answer 3

Take a small bowl and fill it with white vinegar, and put  it in the drawer  and leave it over night.  The vinegar will remove the odor,as it is a odor eater.

You might have to do it again.  Now go buy some sachets fro Bed Bath & Beyond or Linen & Things, and put them in the drawer with your clothing and that should do it..

I have to add that Moth balls, are poison, and  no one should breath in the odor of moth balls, it could be very dangerous.  I had to add this I'm sorry
