Getting Rid of that stench in your Vintage Furniture

We attend a lot of estate sales and sometimes the most attractive piece of furniture can have a reprehensible “Air” about it.  You all know what we mean.  I’m sure there’s a term for it in the English language but I just do not know of a word that specifically describes what I mean.  It’s an odor that would fall under the same heading as moth balls, musty, or stale.  It’s an odor more closely associated with “Grandmother” but in their defense no grandmother I’ve met ever smelled that way.  Whatever word exists for it, the malodorous element is the antithesis of “New”.

Among the signs that you’ve gone off the deep end concerning anything you pursue in life is an inordinate strangely chaotic attention to details.  What I mean is that the tiniest infraction seemingly violates your delicate sense of what you deem right or wrong: hence the “Smell”. 

We’ve struggled many years with this. Whether it’s Lemon oil or sprays or home remedies nothing seemed to work for long.  One particular thing we’ve formulated is a fragrant spray which does a pretty damn good job of getting rid of that odor in old furniture drawers.  This proprietary solution has the fragrant overtone of Imported French Vanilla with a very subtle woody undertone of Hazelnut.  It has an extremely rich French Vanilla aroma especially compared with all the diluted fake smelling products on the market.

 It is yellow-ish red in color and when added to a spray bottle is thick enough to make spraying a little difficult.  We recommend spraying and wiping on the interior of the drawers.  Then going back and wiping it down again a few times with a dry cloth as it can be a little greasy sometimes depending on what your drawers are sealed with.  Once you’ve properly applied the conditioner, the fragrance will be reminiscent of something between a French commissary and a fresh cup of vanilla café latte.  Bad as it sounds sometimes it makes you hungry but the longer you use it, well, you can imagine the effect it would have on you.  Be sure to wear gloves for no other reason than your dog might confuse you with a sugar cookie.  We’ve used it for some time now with no troubles and it is head & shoulders by far the best thing we’ve found to condition our projects and eliminate the ever present “Air” we all know so well.
