Hi,

Just bought a very nice dresser, but it has that old musty smell.

Are there good ways of getting rid of it?

Thank you very much!

1. Wipe down the inside with Listerine or other such mouthwash. The thymol
will kill off any remaining mold and mildew.

2. Fresh air and sunlight.

3. Lastly, seal the inside with shellac followed by a very light sanding.
The shellac step may not be necessary depending on how successful you are
with the first two steps. The light sanding removes any roughness while
still keeping the wood sealed. Clothes will not snag on any rough wood.

Good Luck.
