Leslie Long on May 19, 2014Best thing you could do is take the drawers out and put them in the sun. Vinegar will help so spraying them is a good idea :)Helpful Reply

Cathy Murphy on May 19, 2014My dogs got sprayed by a skunk once and then ran in the house. EVERYTHING smelled "skunky, even inside the dressers. I put charcoal in bowls in the drawers and cabinets and it absorbed the odor. Also, you might try baking soda. It works in the refrigerator.Helpful Reply

Debby on May 19, 2014SPRAY THEM DOWN W A CITRUS OR VINEGAR WASH, DRY THOROUGHLY. THEN PLACE IN SUN. THEN TAKE PURE VANILLA ON DAMP SPONGE AND WIPE DOWN AGAIN. ALLOW TO DRY. PLACE A COUPLE BRIQUETTES IN A CUP OR CEDAR SHAVINGS(PET STORE) TO HAVE LONGER LASTING EFFECTS. OR DRIED LAVENDER SACHETS.Helpful Reply

Laura Havlick on May 19, 2014Baking soda absorbs odors. I would clean it out well, with bleach perhaps or vinegar, and dry it, put in sun, and then powder with baking soda for a few days and then put upside down to get the baking soda out.Helpful Reply

Lori Snarski on May 19, 2014Regular white (clear) vinegar in a spray bottle, mist in drawers, let air dry out of dresser. Once dry, line the drawers with regular black and white newspaper (not the ads) and add a few pieces of charcoal to the drawers and put back in the dresser. Should absorb all your odors. Good luck!Helpful Reply
