A few odor absorbers to choose from are baking soda, cat litter, and charcoal briquettes. Choose a bucket or large container and fill about half of it with the absorber of your choice. You can use multiple buckets if you wish. Leave the bucket in your basement, and replace it once a month to reduce mildew problems.https://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-get-rid-of-the-damp-basement-smellHelpful Reply -

Add vinegar to the wash water. And place them outside on a sunny day to dry. UV rays.Helpful Reply -

Baking soda may do the trick. I got a cabinet from my in-laws who were heavy smokers. I put baking soda on the shelves and let it sit for 6 months. Now there is no smell at all.Helpful Reply -
