If it's new I'd contact the company for ideas.

How annoying.

Try sprinkling essential oil, such as lavender, on some cotton wool and placing in the drawers, I regularly do this. I would also consider wiping down the inside with oil. It wouldn't harm the wood.

I'd paint the inside with chalk paint and/or give it a coat of varnish. A biggish task I know.

Probably not a lot you can do, but I would try popping in a couple of Neutradol deodorisers.

Is it an old wardrobe, or new?

If the former, I think they often smell ‘woody’ and ‘old’.

No ideas, sorry.

I bought a tallboy/wardrobe in December. It’s quite thick wood, and smells ‘woody’ to the point that items stored in it take on the smell, and it’s quite strong. I’ve tried leaving the door open to air it, but it hasn’t helped, and there are five deep drawers as well as the hanging space.

I can’t easily leave it empty for very long as I’d struggle to find space to store the contents, but does anyone have suggestions for getting rid of the smell, please?
