How do I get the musty odor out of an antique dresser?
By Jodi from Bay City, MI
Just a starting point, but try wadding up and loosely packing black and white newspaper pages in all of the drawers and cubby holes for several days. (Don't use glossy paper pages or colored print pages.) Don't know what it is, but often this basic black on white newsprint can help absorb odors.

Is cleaning a moldy dresser the same as a musty one? I already tried the coffee in the drawers. Now I have coffee smelling musty, moldy drawers.
I have an antique dresser with the old, old smell. I just can't live with it. Any ideas on how to remove the smell?
