Question from CC

How do you eliminate the smell of mothball?

I have a question about moth balls. I have an old cedar chest from my childhood that I’d like to use, but it still has the smell of mothballs in it left over from the early 1960’s. There are some vintage clothes in it I’d like to clean and sell. I’d like to know how to clean the clothes and cedar chest to eradicate the toxins and nasty smell. Any advice? Thanks, BethanyC
