Jeanette S on Nov 05, 2014You can get scented soaps, open them and lay them inside the closet/cabinet. You can even lay them between layers of linens. However, after a while, even then they can get stale. Just take them out and wash them before needed.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Nov 05, 2014All great ideas. Maybe coat the shelves, inside door, etc. with poly and repaint the walls.Sounds like the surfaces need to be sealed.Helpful Reply

Margaret on Nov 06, 2014Sachets, perhaps made with dream pillow herbs. My two favorite dream pillow mixes are lavender, rose petals, and mugwort; and hops, rosemary, and mugwort. Lemon-scented herbs would be nice: lemongrass, lemon verbena, lemon balm. Mugwort is easy to grow, and self-sows readily. If you don't care to grow it, there are a number of companies that sell herbs. Monterey Bay Spice Company is my favorite.Helpful Reply

Sue Klinedinst on Nov 06, 2014Take everything out. Wash the walls. Let dry. Patch any holes. Paint with high gloss or semi gloss paint. Then change your laundry detergent to the fragrance free type. Wash everything and put back. You could try changing detergent first.Helpful Reply
