If your wardrobe smells musty, there are a few things you can do to try and rectify the situation. The first step is to identify the source of the smell. If it’s coming from your clothes, it could be due to poor laundry care or storing them in an airtight box.
On the other hand, if the smell is emanating from the wardrobe itself, it could be due to poor ventilation or a build-up of dust and dirt. In either case, we’ve got some tips to help you get rid of that musty smell for good! Click here if you wish to read our blog on the basics of wardrobe designing.
Vinegar
Vinegar is a great odor killer and is easy to use. You need to take a tablespoon of vinegar, mix it with a few drops of water, and clean the wardrobe. If the smell persists, take a little more vinegar and mix it with water and clean the closet with the mix. The smell will be gone before you know it. You can get rid of the vinegar smell by putting some dry clothes in the wardrobe and leaving it open to air out.
Baking Soda
A lot of people use baking soda to get rid of foul smells. It’s quick, easy, and pretty cost-efficient! If you have a smelly wardrobe, you should try this out. All you have to do is sprinkle some baking soda on a cloth and wipe the cupboard from the inside. We recommend doing this at least once a month, depending on how often you wear each piece of clothing. If you want to make this a more permanent solution, you can keep a bowl of baking soda inside your wardrobe.
Coffee Grounds
A great way to get rid of musty smells in your wardrobe is to place a bowl of coffee grounds on the bottom shelf of your wardrobe. The coffee grounds will absorb the musty smell and leave your closet smelling fresh and clean. Just make sure to replace the coffee grounds every few days!
Potpourri
