To eliminate the musty smell from a wooden chest of drawers, follow these steps:

Empty drawers.

Clean exterior with mild wood cleaner or water-vinegar mixture.

Vacuum interior thoroughly.

Place odor absorbers (baking soda, charcoal, or coffee grounds) in drawers for a few days.

Air it out in a well-ventilated area, ideally outdoors.

Expose to sunlight, if possible, rotating to all sides.

Consider using a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.

Repeat process if necessary or seek professional help. Prevent future smells by keeping the chest in a dry environment with good ventilation.
