    Smell in old dresser
    We bought an old dresser and it smells very musty. Kind of like a bad motel smell. We have washed it with Lysol cleaner and also have tried ammonia. They didn't help. Any ideas?

    Try putting a pan with charcoal briquets in the drawers. Also baking soda should absorb the smell. I spray any old furniture with drawers with straight extra-stength white vinegar... will kill any mold.
