how do i get a musty smell out of furniture?

Question

I have an old typewriter in a carying case that has a musty smell I can't get out .

Answer 1

I would recommend wiping the inside of the case and outside of the typewriter with a lightly damp cloth with a bleach and water mixture. Just dampen the rag enough so it doesn't leak into an area of the typewriter that may damage it. Also if you have a canister of compressed air , the type used to dust your computer keyboard you may try that on the inside of the typewriter prior to the cleaning. Good luck it should do the trick.

Answer 2

if it is the carrying case, take a mild solution of baking soda and water and scrub the inside of the case, set out in the sun to "bake" and then take a wet sponge to rinse out. set the case back out in the sun to bake dry.
good luck

Answer 3

Answer 4
