Removing Mothball Smell From Wool

RE: Removing Mothball Smell From Wool Post By Michael (Guest Post) (09/02/2008) To remove the smell from the rug, you must place it in the sun, take it in during the evening, don't let it get damp. A driveway or patio will work, and put out again for several days. It will remove the smell.

I tried putting it in the dryer on airdry with about 5 drier sheets. This worked beautifully. In about 5 minutes the smell was completely gone. Thanks!

Do you have a suggestion of what we can put on it to get rid of the odor?

If you want to wear the clothes right away, try putting them in the dryer with a dryer sheet and turn it on to "Air Dry" for about 20 minutes. Report Spam or Abuse
