Question from amie

Odor in closet from a orange that had molded! My daughter left it in her closet in a coat! Yikes about a week later I could smell almost a chemical like odor. Found the orange completely covered in mold. Removed it and it has been 5 days later cant seem to get odor out. I have ventilated closet and room and have a IQ air filter running in closet..Can you recommend anything to get this odor under control Thank you

Debra’s Answer

If it smells “almost chemical” it may not be mold you are smelling. Most oranges pick up fungicide from the packing material they are wrapped in for shipping. I used to think that smell was the smell of an orange until I smelled an organic orange for the first time.

Readers, any suggestions for this?
