Wharfmaster Posted February 10, 2015 Share #10 Posted February 10, 2015 I like that "old surplus store" smell. Does your war room have a window ? Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf 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.

BROBS Posted February 10, 2015 Share #14 Posted February 10, 2015 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. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo Posted February 11, 2015 Share #17 Posted February 11, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberry 9 Posted February 11, 2015 Share #18 Posted February 11, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirBerkov Posted February 24, 2015 Share #19 Posted February 24, 2015 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.

268th C.A. Posted February 24, 2015 Share #23 Posted February 24, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josegarcia8578 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share #24 Posted February 25, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberry 9 Posted February 25, 2015 Share #25 Posted February 25, 2015 You can also use a bowl of pinesol in place of vinegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
