    Brought a new wooden chest of drawers for baby, but cant remove the new smell..

    As the title says, i brought a new wooden 6 drawers chest for the babys clothes, i have had the drawers open and the window in the bedroom for weeks now, but when i closed the drawers and the window the next day the room had the camfor wood smell in it, so ive reopend the drawers.

    I have put paper in the bottom, for when i put the clothes in there, but just cant rid the new smell.

    any suggestions, i still have time before i have to wash the baby clothes, but i thought it would have gone by now..
    the clothes i had in there, (still with tags on) had the camfor wood smell in them too even though it was open

    For ours we used little potpourri bags, actually they were little cushion like things we got from bigw I think, they helped alot.

    To remove paint and varnish smel, cut an onion in half and put it in thr room. It's amazing!!
