Re: OT: musty furniture?

I have considered dragging the drawers outside- and if it doesn't rain this weekend I will do that. That's a big if for this weekend though...

If your temperature is dry and warm, you might also want to set the drawers
outside to sun for a few hours.  Do you think it is mildew?  My "Household
Hints and Tips" says to kill mildew spores with a commercial solution
designed to keep the spores and do it outside so you don't transfer the
spores to other items.

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?
