We are trying to eliminate the odor that comes from our cupboard that holds our plastic garbage can. We have tried baking soda, coffee beans and stickup air deodorizer. The smell seems to have permiated into the wood.

I have the perfect solution that i use myself for the same problem. It is a product called FRIDGE IT odor absorbers. It is a littler purple cube with an activated carbon filter inside that is really great. It works so much better than baking soda and all those sprays. The carbon literally eliminates the odors and works for a long time. I use this product everywhere including my fridge and also under sinks, near trash and have friends that use it on cat litter box and also diaper pails - it's that good. I really recommend it. You can buy it in kitchen gadget sections in stores like walmart and linens and things. I also think camping world sells it. Definitely worth trying.

Have you washed down the wood with a citris based cleaner? Many odors are encapsulated in fat molecules which stick to wood. In worse case senario you can paint the interior of the cabinet with a sealing paint such as Kilz, but that's worst case. In mean time try washing then put a Smells Be Gone solid in cabinet. You can find it in many grocery store where they have clothing items such as mothballs and of course the big box stores.

keep on with the baking soda, spray the wood inside with febreeze, and put some amonia or vinegar in the bottom of the garbage can when its empty.

Clean the garbage out really well with disinfectant. Spray with lysol. Every time you change the trash, spray the garbage with lysol. It keeps it from growing nasty bugs and it keeps it smelling better! Good Luck! :)

Try orange or lemon peels. You could also try putting a few teaspoons of lemon juice directly on the wood inside. Hope this helps.

Leave a small bowl of white vinegar under there for a week or so. Chow
