Buying vintage or antique furniture, like dressers, bedside tables or freestanding wardrobes, is a great way to reuse items and add character to your home. But many drawers inside of these pieces can have a musky smell that may seem impossible to remove. An easy way to neutralize the smell is to line the inside with several layers of newspaper and bags of dry green tea leaves. The newspaper is porous and will absorb odors, and the green tea leaves will absorb additional odor while leaving a pleasant scent behind. Let this sit for at least a week for maximum results.
