I have my linens stored in some big beautiful old wooden drawers set into the hall of our home. I love having them there but the old wooden drawers smell just that old and wooden. I go to great lengths to have my laundry smell fresh and clean. I even use an in-wash scent booster that makes my laundry smell great out of the dryer. I fold my sheets and then put them into the drawer for that size sheet, even just a week later I pull them out to put on the bed and they smell like a musty old wooden drawer. Not wanting to change where I store them I began trying to find a solution. I tried scrubbing out the drawers with cleaner, no change.
Then I had a great idea, use my in-wash scent booster which has a smell I love to combat the drawer smell. I got small mesh bags at my local dollar tree (6 for $1) and put about a tablespoon of the small beads in them and put the bags in the wooden drawers with my sheets.
Now my sheets smell like they are fresh from the dryer whenever I get them out! Thanks for stopping by

Great idea! My hall linen closet does the same thing. I’ve tried baking soda and some other things but it just doesn’t do the trick. Question: What brand of scent booster do you use? I don’t know that I’ve used one that come in little beads…Thx!
I use Downey, the one with the turquoise lid. I love the smell
Good idea. We do what my grandma always did – put sprigs of dried lavender between the sheets when they’re in the drawers – the sheets smell fresh and the smell of lavender helps us wind down and sleep at the end of the day.
