Laverne....I use a powder/talcum sprinkled on the bottom of each drawer then place tissue over it. My mom did this years ago especially in her lingerie drawers.
Wipe out the interior with white vinegar and water. Set charcoal in the drawers or crumpled newspaper or boxes of baking soda. You can also set the drawers in the sun for a few days.
