One of the no-no's in preserving wooden furniture is storing it in damp or humid locations. Wooden furniture are not fir for such places because they can take on a musty smell resembling that of mildew. It's not a very nice smell to have around your home, and it can penetrate even your other wooden furniture like cabinets and shelves.

Before, the only known way of eliminating this nasty smell is by stripping and refinishing the wooden furniture, but this can cost a lot of time and money. Good thing there are now products out there in the market that lets you eliminate that smell without having to refinish the furniture.

Having odor-removing products won't do the trick, as they will just mix their own smell with the smell of the mildew. For a while, they may cover the smell of the mildew, but eventually it will come out again. There are specialized products out there created specifically for cleaning wooden furniture first, such as Murphy's Oil Soap. Just follow the instructions in the label in order to clean it properly.

Afterwards, you can employ a number of different methods to completely rub off the smell of mildew. Some of them are actually pretty unusual, but conventional. For one, ground dry coffee is often used by a lot of maintenance staff to remove nasty smell from certain areas. Mildew is certainly on their list as well.

For others, charcoal and baking soda are also excellent odor removers to try out. But these are relatively expensive if you will compare them with natural clay kitty litter. They're effective on kitty poop, so they should be effective on the smell of mildew as well. You can put the kitty litter inside a bowl and put it near the furniture where there is a mildew smell. For example, if you want to remove the mildew smell of a wooden cabinet, place the kitty litter there and wait for an entire day. Try it out for yourself
