Wad up some newspaper, and put a box of baking soda in it, then close it up
for a day (24 hours or so) If it can get the smell out of apartment fridges
that were left full and without power for a week, it should work for that

wife inherited a old armoire-about 75 yrs old. veneer marquetry with nice
patina on outside. Trouble is, inside has a musty smell. Looks to be some
kind of softwood stained dark. I tried 2 coats of waterbased poly on
inside but it still smells.
Any ideas on getting rid of smell or sealing it in?
thanks
