Baking Soda & Charcoal Absorption Method:
Begin by removing all items from the closet. This will allow you to fully address the source of the musty smell.
Sprinkle 1-2 cups of baking soda evenly on the closet floor or place it in small bowls around the space. Baking soda is a great natural deodorizer that will help absorb the musty scent.
Add 1-2 bags of activated charcoal to the corners or shelves of your closet. Activated charcoal is highly effective at absorbing moisture and odors, and it’s ideal for musty spaces.
Let the baking soda and charcoal sit in your closet for at least 24 hours, or longer if possible.
