Question from Ella
I have a dresser of solid wood which is many years old.
The top two drawers are fine, but the bottom three are infused with this unpleasant odor. It is impossible to put clothing in them, as the items pick up the smell and need to be washed. I’ve tried vinegar, baking soda, rubbing perfumed soap, spraying perfumes inside the drawers and nothing works. Someone suggested putting a layer of lacquer to seal the wood. It would really stink then to someone who is chemically sensitive.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? Or is it best to use them for paper storage?
