Trunk With Mothball Smell

We acquired an old trunk that was very musty smelling, after trying several things I got the 'bright' idea of putting moth balls in it! I stored pictures and picture albums in there, and now everything smells like moth balls, oh to have that 'musty' smell back again! Is there something I can do to get rid of that moth ball smell now? We recently moved to WA state and I have the albums on a shelf in the office, and the smell just wont go away. HELP!

I bought an old dresser once and it had a musty smell. Try setting a container of fresh ground coffee in it for a few days. It worked for me.

there is a product called OZIUM. small thin cansiter. i have found it in hardware stores. 1 or 2 squirts a day in the room with "smelly" objects and eventually , after just a few days you will notice the odor is gone. don't spray on the objects & read the warnings.(bad for pets & people with breathing problems) use sparingly! it does work
