Removing Wood Smell from New Pine Drawers

RE: Removing Wood Smell from New Pine Drawers Post by Otis P Driftwood (8) | (03/13/2008) Contact I think I'd try the charcoal briquette procedure first. Put some old newspapers at the bottom of each drawer, then place a layer of briquettes on top of the newspaper. Close the drawers and let it sit for many days-- a week if you can. The smell should be gone. Save the briquettes to use for snowmen's eyes-- or stocking stuffers. ;-) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Wood Smell from New Pine Drawers Post by susanmajp (671) | (03/13/2008) Profile | Contact Could you paint over the bare wood with a sealer? There are lots of ecologically-safe paints on the market.

Baking soda is known to absorb odors. Another idea is the baby powder that they make with baking soda. You could just sprinkle that in and the baby smells like a baby and not a tree! Happy pushing!
