Current project is refurbishing an antique doll trunk for my wife to use for her sewing and knitting stuff. Dates to around the 20s. Unfortunately, the inside is in pretty sorry shape, so the moldy fabric has to come out. The outside will yield to some metal polish and a little steel wool here and there.
The problem is, how do I get rid of the mold/mildew odor? I plan on lining the trunk with craft paper, then wallpaper, as I have done for a larger trunk. That should seal thing in pretty good, but still, I'd like to get the odor out. At the moment, it is being dis-assembled, and drying out on my workbench.
Any hints/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
