I wash my t-shirts thoroughly, they smell great coming out of the washer and dryer, I fold them and stack them neatly in the dresser drawer. There's nothing in that drawer but clean t-shirts, yet whenever I pull one out, they always have an unattractive, odd smell to them. I often have to rewash one or spray it with Febreeze just to wear it, and Febreeze isn't completely effective.
Other clothes in the dresser pick up the odor too, but nothing ends up smelling as bad as my t-shirts. They seem to pick up the odor the worst, and of course they're worn closest to the face, so it's pretty difficult to ignore the scent. It's not a chemical or food-like odor, so I'm sure that it's about the wood. I'm told that my dresser is made of maple.
I'd considered sachets, but I wasn't sure if that would be effective enough to spend the money, or if there might be any other solutions, perhaps even some old-fashioned remedy from back in the day when more things were still made of real wood.
