Removing Mothball Smell for a Camper?

I purchased a camper that had been stored for a couple years with mothballs in it. I can't get the mothball smell out of it. I have tried everything.

Try a product called Nok-Out. It is supposed to work very well. You can get it on Amazon.

Oh mothballs...they instantly take me back to my nana's closet. ICK! The only way we got rid of that smell when trying to sell her place was to put activated charcoal pellets in the closet and let it sit for a few weeks. You may be to change the pellets out periodically...this was a long time ago and my memory is a little hazy on the fine details.

Also, if I remember correctly, we wiped down the walls with a baking soda and vinegar combo...but they were painted walls...not sure what the camper walls are made out of.

You should be able to get the pellets at a pet store or maybe even a WalMart or Target if a larger store. Amazon has them as do a bunch of other on line sites. Read the package to see how much you need for the size of your space. The closet didn't need much but it was small (probably 8 ft tall, and 3 ft by 3 ft.)

Keep the pellets away from small children and pets!

Hope this helps!
