I have an old dresser in great condition. Except for the odor of the drawers which gets in the clothes. I've tried fabric softner sheet, potpourri pouches, etc. Any suggestions on how to eliminate odors from wooden drawers?

I put dryer sheets in my drawer and between the clothes. After all, you want them to smell good when you take them from the dryer, why not when you take them out of your drawer as well.

I am getting a new dresser tomorrow. What are some suggestions to put in them before any orders start?

You have not said what type of odor it is, stinky, urinish, moldy etc.

Try putting coffee grounds (right from the can) in an open container or envelope and let sit in closed drawer for a while. Worked for me.

I would try washing the inside of the drawers with baking soda & vinegar. You could also spray the vinegar on and then wipe out. Then put the draws out in the sun to dry. You could also use ammonia. Liz

I wonder if painting or sealing the wood would work?

I have a dresser that must have been a home to a cat/ I could smell cat odor everytime I opened the drawers. I tried everything I could think of... one day I took the dresser outside washed it down with baking soda after it dried took a spray bottle with white vinegar and water 50/50 and sprayed it down good... I wouldn't use this on anything but REAL wood. not processed woods. Let it dry in the sun thouroughly. no more odor.

Have you tried baking soda? It works for getting odors out of lots of other things!
