Steamer Trunk With Mothball Smell
I use it for some storage, but had not gone into it for over a year, and was just overwhelmed by the smell. I do have cedar chunks in there and have tried Fabreeze but to no avail. If I can't get rid of the smell I am going to have to get rid of it and I don't want to do that.
Any suggestions?
Please help!

I used coffee grounds. Just pour the coffee grounds right from the can onto a large piece of saran wrap. Believe it or not it does work.

charcoal briquettes work really well. I used them to get the odor out of a freezer that had sat idle for 3 years and it had no smell about about a week.

1. coffee grounds
2. charcoal
3. kitty litter
4. newspaper
Leave in for as long as it takes.

To remove any smell the best thing I have found is baking soda. Sprinkle it on and let it sit. You may have to repeat several times.
