Hints from Heloise - Closet Odor Removal
By Hklbrries
_ _ _
- Dear Heloise: My home is an older home, and anything that had been in any closet has an “old” smell. I want to put boxes of baking soda in each closet to help control odors. Should I place the soda boxes on the top shelf or on the floor?
- Thank you for all your help through the years. -- Kellie Bryant, via email
- Kellie, as a first step, leave the closet door open as much as possible to allow fresh air to circulate. You also can put a small fan in the closet or just outside facing in so that air is forced around. This will help with that smell.
