I when I moved into my house, there is a cedar lined closet. How do I refresh the cedar smell. If it has to be sanded, what grade of sandpaper, and how often to keep it fresh?

My sister has an old cedar chest from our great grandmother. She sanded the inside of it twice first with medium grit to remove the surface and then an extra fine grit to leave a silly smooth surface. Always sand with the grain else you will create marks in the wood. Vacuum and wipe down with microfiber cloth after each sanding.
Maureen knows what she is talking about. Forget "oils" and such. Sanding will do the trick!
hmmm I have had my cedar chest for nearly 30 years and every time I open it the cedar scent is strong...I was unaware it could fade. I will be using these tips if and when it does. I love the smell.
