Antique Dresser question

[2beamissourian]

we have one as well....... and I used fabric soft sheets .........and yet the smell is still there...

My hubby's grandparents purchased it at a yard sale days after getting married ... his oldest aunt inherited the piece and had it refinished / restored ......... when she passed my husband inherited the piece........... its beautiful with a marble top and all........... but I only store sheets and table clothes in it because of the smell.

I cant remember if I used febreeze or not ... now am wondering ...did u find something that worked?

after 40 yrs. restoring antiques and furniture i find the only thing that works is a little machine called prozone, just plug it in. Take out drawers set on floor try to cover the whole piece with plastic, couple of days smeel will be gone. inexpencive prozone pz6-a air purifier.

I had a similar problem with kitchen cabinets in my small cottage. The cabinets smelled like the renter put unwashed clothes in them! I scrubbed with lysol, etc and nothing worked. At Lowes Home Improvement, someone recommended a product called ZORBX. It is safe - you spray it on. It worked after 2 applications. The labeling says it is used in hospitals, etc and is perfectly safe.
