One trick is enough to forget about the problem forever.

Housewives often face a problem: things that have not been stored in a chest of drawers for long begin to smell musty.

For this reason, clothes, towels and other items have to be washed or soaked in a special solution to get rid of the stench.

The unpleasant smell is caused by high humidity. Often the cause is damp things that were put in the chest of drawers without being dried enough.

Getting rid of mustiness is quite simple. First, you need to remove all the things from the chest of drawers, and then treat the shelves and walls with hydrogen peroxide or vinegar (6% or 9%).

Then put a jar of soda, activated carbon, ground coffee or salt in the chest of drawers. These ingredients will neutralize the unpleasant smell, and a couple of drops of essential oil will help to “settle” a pleasant aroma in the chest of drawers, which will permeate the things.
