Good morning,

I'm running into an issue, my room smells like old supplies and smelly canvas. Anyone know how to get rid of this smell? I would appreciate any tips!


Thanks,

Why would you want to get rid of that heavenly smell??? I'd wear it as cologne if they could bottle it!

I like that "old surplus store" smell.    Does your war room have a window ?

Haha I do too but not on my regular clothes!
I do have a window...I'm going to try to keep it open more, it's just that it's winer and the heater is on most of the time so I have kept the window closed.

incense.. candles... 

 

though I like my room to smell like that.

 

must be some serious musk to be penetrating a closet.  or do you keep the items in the same closet?

I wouldn't do that.

  I don't know if you use dehumidifiers where you live, but I have found that they are really helpful in taking out odors.  If I have an item that smells, I can put it in the same room near the dehumidifier and it takes care of it.

I also like the smell but I do use the plug ins. Now I really like the combination smell of the two. I find it oddly comforting😌

Putting some white vinegar in a small open bowl in the musty room does wonders.  It will smell like vinegar for a time while the bowl is there, but once removed the smell disappears entirely and only leaves a fresh, clean smell.

Ive always used Mothballs, but i suppose you dont like them either. lol

Try a big bowl of milk overnight. It works for paint odor.

does this really work?

 

or are you just noticing the vinegar smell being gone?

I'm laughing, In this hobby you have to love the smell.  We know when we walk into that antigue mall or shop & the smell hits you, The hunt is on for it!   

[josegarcia8578]

I use coffe grinds and that seems to be working. I also open the window very often. The smell is still there by bot so strong!

[strawberry 9]

You can also use a bowl of pinesol in place of vinegar.
