A New China Cabinet
wear Aunt Daisy, I have a new China Cabinet and the smell of stain in it is very strong. I have left the door open, put a cut onion and also a bowl with chlorogene in the cabinet, but it still has that strong smell. Can you suggest anything I could
do?
Baldwin
. Here is your answer, Baldwin, from the never-failing Daisy Chain: I have just heard a call for an idea to get the smell of creosote out of a china cabinet. It is not really the stain that smells, but creosote put on the wood before it is made up. I had the same trouble and this is what I did, I damped some newspaper and put it in a tin inside the cabinet, and set a match to it. Have the paper so that it just smoulders, not burns, Close the cabinet and let the paper smoulder and fill the cabinet with smoke, taking care that there is no flame. Leave it there for as long as you like. Be sure that you place’ the tin on something fireproof so that it does not mark the shelf. I have also used this method for damp rooms and wardrobes and found it successful every time. \
