Kitchen Cabinets Smell Musty. Stinky cabinets alone are bad enough and the smell can quickly take over your kitchen as well. Repeat until it stays dry.
To get the smell from your plastic ware put it in the freezer for a few hours and then carefully let them get back to room temperature. The bad news is that you may not be able to fix this problem on your own. If so chances are its mildew.
If you have a musty smell in your kitchen theres a good chance that you have a leak somewhere.
Charcoal is another solution. Even the tidiest people often encounter an unpleasant smell in the kitchen cabinets. Wipe down the entire interior and doors of the cabinets. Hi Denise I was wondering if you could give me a tip on how to get the odor of mold mothballs out of fabulous furniture that Im finding at thrift stores.
