Smelly Suitcase

[ILikeSprouts]

Hello. I have recently acquired a second hand but looking almost like new suitcase. The problem is that there is a really strange, unpleasant smell inside it although it is otherwise very clean. Does anyone have any top tips for getting rid of odours from fabric? Fabreze isn't doing the trick.
Thanks in advance!

Sprinkle quite a bit of bicarbonate of soda inside, leave for a few days and then vacuum the bicarb out... that should clear the *pong*. If that doesn't work, then wait for a dry, clear, fresh day and leave the suitcase - opened up - in the fresh air.

Sounds like you had a dead body in there mate! loads of salt in tissues about marble sized scattered amongst loads of cut in half lemons should do the trick!

Bounce for the tumble drier is really good, just leave some sheets in the suitcase for a few days and the smell should be gone

I would say get rid of the case. Bounce sheets will not take away the smell.

Thankyou everyone! I will try everything suggested before I chuck it out! :)
