Mothball Odors in Furniture, Carpets and Fabric
Q: Mothball Odour in Furniture. I
just bought some used
dressers and they smell of moth balls. I cannot stand the smell and
wondered if
you had any suggestions about how to safely remove the odour. If you
can answer
that, do you know how to remove mothball odour from clothing? I would
appreciate
any advice. Thank you. -- “Tammie” Reply (Ref:0053)

Moth Balls Smell - Hi, Try leaving some scented fabric
softener sheets in luggage while it is
closed to make it smell better. Also a product called Febreze is really
good. It
is sold near fabric softener in grocery store. Good luck. -- Chris "BabyLady" Reply

Q: Removing the Smell of Moth Balls Hi, How do you remove the smell of moth balls from fabrics, furniture, carpet and walls?
Thanks so much for your help. -- M Dorman Reply 26/07/2005
A: Mothballs Smell: The smell is what protects the clothes from the larvae of the moths and
other insects. You can buy odorless moth balls however. By the way
never kill spiders, if you make your house unfriendly to spiders then
insects will multiply and ruin clothes, books and so many of your
possessions. Mothball smells will eventually go of their own accord.--
