Re: OT: musty furniture?

I'd wipe it down with a baking soda & water solution or set saucers of dry soda in the drawers. If the problem is mildew, I'd use a vinegar or bleach solution. If this is a valuable piece, I'd check with someone who restores old furniture before trying any of this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Theresa W" <tchessie1@sbcglobal.net>

Subject: [CHAT] OT: musty furniture?



Hi all-
This is a totally nongarden question, but since you are all such a wealth of info, I hoped someone might help. I now own my mom's old dresser and the drawers are very musty smelling. I've tried putting lavendar in the drawers- no help. So I've left them all over for the past couple of weeks that has helped some, but still not great. Anybody know how to de-must solid wood furniture? 

Theresa
