Damp Musty Smell From Chest Of Drawers
19 Answers
A friend gave me an old chest of drawers he's had sitting in his garage for a while as he knows I like to upcycle furniture as a hobby.
It did smelly a bit damp but I thought the smell would go.
I have now sanded, painted and waxed it but I can still smell it.
Any ideas how I can get rid of it?

Can you still buy moth-balls? I doubt it. I used to love the smell of those when I was a kid
All sorts now, stuey.

You might also try burning a scented oil in the room with the chest of drawers. I think at least part of the aroma is simply 'someone else's scent'. Every family has their own scent - I bet you've noticed this but felt it was impolite to mention! Most are good but different, some are just plain pongy. You might have acquired a pongy piece of furniture. Over time and exposed to new sources of scent the pong will fade, but it may take time and encouragement.
